Harassed by phone calls, Natalie calls police, never expecting Officer Miller Brannigan. Ten years earlier, she had broken off their engagement to protect him from a secret she could never share. As they reconnect in love, someone is terrorizing Natalie. Unless Miller acts quickly, an unknown menace just might kill their last chance for a future together.
What a breath of fresh air! Suzanne McMinn takes a tried and true storyline, the reunion of a high-school lovers years later, and puts many twists on the subject. I was pleased immediately when Natalie wasn't hiding Miller's secret baby from him and she didn't leave him in high school because she was pregnant. If either of those things had happened, as I'd read in so many books, I would have been tempted to throw the book down. Instead, McMinn gave a compelling reason why the female character left her man ten years ago, one that really made me understand how much Natalie loved Miller and been afraid she loved him too much. The whodunit also added to the suspense and tension of this well done novel. I've never read McMinn's work before, but I will certainly do it again now. My only complaint was that it ended too soon. But all in all, worth your time and money!
