Sara Shaw is happily preparing for her marriage to Greg Anders, and though her family and friends don't like him very much, she sees his good nature. That is, until he disappears three weeks before the wedding, and undercover detective extraordinaire, Mike Newland crawls through the trapdoor in the floor of her borrowed apartment.
As it turns out, Mike is the brother of her best friend and the apartment’s honeymooning owner, Tess. He is also a cop investigating Greg, who is actually the fiendish criminal, Stefan Vandlo, with a deadly plan that Mike doesn't yet fully understand. Mike knows Greg wants to marry Sara in order to get something she has…but…what is it?
Mike figures it will be easy to get Sara to trust him; women have always been attracted to him. But, Sara is the exception. Weary of being seen as weak, she believes hunky Mike has been sent to tempt her away from marrying Greg. The longer Mike stays, however, the more appealing he becomes to Sara, and soon they begin revealing secrets to each other, including Mike's true mission. As Mike and Sara fall in love, they remain at risk until they can figure out what Greg wants from her.
Jude Deveraux returns to Edilean, Va., to tie up some loose ends, return to familiar characters, and introduce a few new ones. I enjoyed this book very much!
