About this ebook

After stumbling upon a chilling small-town secret in South Carolina, a determined public defender must protect herself -- and her young son -- from those who want them dead.Kendall Deaton pulls herself and her baby out of a wrecked car, and a mixture of courage and fear gets her to the top of a ravine, where she flags down help. But she doesn't dare reveal her true identity to the authorities. Instead, she plans her immediate escape, and her perilous flight begins. Kendall, the best public defender in Prosper, South Carolina, has stumbled upon a chilling town secret, turning her marriage to one of Prosper's most powerful men into a living hell. Now Kendall is a terrified mother trying to save her child's life, a reluctant witness who knows too much about an insidious evil . . . and a woman surrounded by forces that will stop at nothing to protect what is "theirs."

Ratings and reviews

Ms. Brown writes very well. All was excellent except it took a dive at the end with a fast, neat wrap up. The bad guys get taken down, the protagonists fall in love and live happily ever after; reducing what started out as a great read to a mediocre simplistic work.

I really enjoyed this book. I haven't read Sandra Brown in a few years...glad I came back.

Couldn't stop reading has me from the prologue!! As the story unfolds you grow closer and closer to each and every character.
