About this ebook

A pair of strangers has twelve hours to relish the night of their lives in a novel that “has taken the anonymous one-night-stand relationship into the realm of art” (Publishers Weekly) from New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey.

On a cold and rainy night during the Christmas season, a woman who has suffered great personal loss and a successful businessman from Orange County meet by chance at a gas station in Los Angeles County. They have nothing in common, but as they engage in conversation and move from con games to assault to robberies, within hours they end up sequestered in an upscale hotel room. During intimacy, they continue to confide in each other and try to come to grips with their problems and their seasonal loneliness. For one night, their passion is boundless, but with every tick of the clock, their separate pasts close in. They push the limits of time, devotion, and even the law as they attempt to catch a glimpse of the future. They need each other for a lifetime but will have only one night.

Ratings and reviews

I LOVE ERIC JEROME DICKEY! But this book lost my interest half way through. I don't even want to keep reading it. I'm sorry but I don't recommend this book to anyone. It just wasn't there with me...

I have been reading edj books since 1996 when I was 16 and looking for love in the safest of places and I found one of his novels sister sister stuffed in a corner of a used book store. I feel in love. I have loved how he has grown with me I love how he's more than just a urban writer but a new York best selling author and even after Katrina and I lost all of my first edition by him I re brought all of them then re bought them all again when I went digital. I'm saying all of this to say y end this like this

Good Book. Would've love to see the outcome once they answered the thump from the truck.
