About this ebook

In this suspenseful thriller, a journalist who stumbles upon a deadly crime while pursuing the scoop of a lifetime will find her strength and conviction tested in new and frightening ways.

TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation when she hears the news on the radio: The teenage daughter of Forth Worth tycoon Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. Immediately, she ditches her holiday to chase down the story that could make her career.

But in a town called Rojo Flats, an innocuous stop at a convenience store thrusts her directly into the unfolding story -- and a dangerous crime drama. For inside the shop two desperate young lovers are holding a half dozen frightened hostages . . . and a powder keg of a standoff is about to test Tiel's courage, journalistic integrity, and everything she has ever believed.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not much of a reader, but when I pick up a book, I expect it to keep my interest. This book did exactly that. The right amount of suspense was used and not real mushy on the love aspect. Really great story line. Definitely a page turner.

I loved this book. I loved the characters, and this story was very well written!!

Loved it. Such a great book. Just like all her others.
