"The action doesn't let up!"

Delores Fossen has done it yet again. She's written a book so intriguing that it was impossible for me to put it down. I have her to thank for my bloodshot eyes and lack of sleep but it was well worth it! The first line of this book is "Leigh realized she was being murdered." Now this adrenalin-rushing sentence is the premise for a wild roller coaster ride of a book that doesn't let up in tension and action until the very last page is turned.

Gabe Sanchez has been looking for his wife for two years. She had uncovered a plot by a crooked FBI agent and he nearly murdered her. The agent was a friend of Gabe's and he didn't believe he was crooked until Leigh was shot. That's when Leigh disappeared. Now two years later Gabe pulls her out of a lake where she's nearly murdered yet again. What is going on?

When Gabe pulls Leigh out of the lake, he notices that her face is bruised and she's been shot. She also has no idea who she is let alone who he is. All she knows is that she's got to get to Houston. It's absolutely imperative and the most important thing she can think of. As Leigh and Gabe run for their lives and try to figure out who is trying to kill Leigh yet again, Leigh's memory slowly starts to come back. Now can they solve the mystery in time?

I have always been a big fan of the Harlequin Intrigue line of books and romantic suspense. This book is just one of the many reasons why. Gabe and Leigh finally to make it to Houston and what a surprise that turned out to be! I also had absolutely NO idea who the villain was until the very last chapter! A guaranteed all around great read and most definitely a page-turner!

Summary

His secret child. . . and hers.

FBI agent Gabe Sanchez had his orders concerning witness Leigh O Brien--keep her alive, catch the bad guys, take care of her. The last was asking a lot, given that Leigh had vanished from his life two years ago. Now she was back, and Gabe wanted answers. Who was trying to kill her? Why did she leave without a word? Why did he still yearn for her, body and soul?

Leigh couldn t remember her name, let alone the sexy stranger who claimed to be her husband. All she knew was that she had to get to Houston in time to save a child in grave danger. But she and Gabe were in for the shock of their lives when they arrived at their destination. . .because the child they sought was their son.
