"excellent romantic suspense"
Lyra Collins escaped Neal Barker, the self proclaimed
Prophet leader of the Temple of Light cult five years ago;
she made a low key life for herself as an artist in
Bisbee, Arizona. When former cop Dare Lancaster comes to
her home and mentions Neal, she panics and shoots with
pepper spray in his eyes. She has to flee, but it is too
late as the People followed Dare to her and have come for
her to mate with their Prophet so that the new Messiah can
be born. Dare realizing nothing seems quite right so he
intervenes and rescues Lyra from the mess he inadvertently
created. The People will never stop their pursuit of Lyra; for
daring to interfere Dare will be sacrificed once they are
caught. They have everything going as they have money,
power, influence, her mother, and God on their side. The
trapped rats have nothing except love. When I read I Cheyenne McCray's thriller I think of the
James Bond song from the Spy Who Loved Me as "Nobody Does
it Better". The story line is action packed from the
first sentence when the beleaguered heroine realizes "They
found her" and never slows down as a fanatical believer
and his followers give chase in Arizona and Oregon. Fans
of romantic suspense could not choose anyone superior than
this author as her latest as usual is a winner. Harriet Klausner

SummaryLyra Collins has made a life for herself in a sleepy
artists' community in Arizona. Having escaped from a cult
five years ago, she keeps a low profile, making a living as
an artist. But when a mysterious man with a dark, dangerous
look appears on her doorstep, she knows it's time to run again.
Former cop Dare Lancaster didn't mean to lead a bunch of
fanatical cult members straight to Lyra's door. But now that
he's gotten her into this mess, he's determined to get her
out. The frantic heat their bodies generate whenever they're
together makes him want to save her...
Neal Barker's grandfather was the first Prophet Jericho, and
Neal now rules the Temple of Light commune unchecked.
According to his visions, he and Lyra are destined to
produce the new Messiah, so he will stop at nothing to make
her his own. But soon Dare will discover just how far he'll
go to protect Lyra—and never let her go.
