About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Patricia Rice brings you her award-winning tale of love and mystery:

“Absolutely stunning... Rice gives us everything we could want in this ‘to keep forever’—love, mystery, and adventure... Fantastic.” Bell, Book ,and Candle

Pippa Cochran flees an abusive boyfriend only to end up working for a man everyone calls the Grim Reaper—and not just because he’s a bestselling author of horror novels.

Fame and fortune are cold comfort for Seth Wyatt, a man whose inner demons have him living on a volatile precipice—even before someone tries to murder him.

An indefatigable caretaker, Pippa isn’t prepared to battle both her employer and his enemies. Still, she can’t resist the emotional pull of Seth’s damaged son or the opportunity to hide in the fortress he calls home.

Pippa’s new-found security is destroyed when she and Seth are the victims of several near-fatal accidents. To prevent harm to those she’s come to love, must she run again? Can Seth ask her to stay when it could mean one of them might die?

Ratings and reviews

Wonderful romance and mystery. Great character development. Starts like it might be an intense suspense novel but soon develops into a story more about the characters and their relationships. Mostly how they develop and change as they learn about each other and their place in the small community. There is a mystery to be solved but it's not the main focus of the story.

The characters are great and well developed. The book had a great bit of mystery,perfect banter between the characters, just couldn't put it down, so sad I reached the end can't wait to buy the next one on payday.

A delightful book, the second I've read by Patricia Rice. Her books are fast moving and in the category of " Can't put them down". Thank you for great entertainment Patricia.
