About this ebook

Book Four in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Rose Gardner Mystery Series! 

While Rose recovers from a broken heart, she finds herself at odds with her sister—and business partner—Violet. Rose buries herself in her landscaping work, but becomes worried when her employee and friend, Bruce Wayne Decker, goes missing. 

In the meantime, Fenton County assistant D.A., Mason Deveraux has been patiently waiting to begin a relationship with Rose, but she realizes she needs to confront the demons of her past before she can embrace a new future. She needs to find out the truth about her birth mother. 

But her past isn’t her only demon. An undercurrent of tension has been spreading through Henryetta, Arkansas since drug lord, Daniel Crocker’s arrest six months ago. Still, she’s not prepared for a nightmare come true: Crocker’s escape from prison. Crocker carries a grudge and he’s determined to make Rose pay, but he plays a game of cat and mouse, forcing Mason and the Fenton County Sheriff’s department to hide Rose on her birth mother’s farm. But will it be enough to save her? 

Ratings and reviews

Book number four and another 5 stars. Like the other books, it's a great read and leaves you wanting more. It's great to see the characters develop and how Rose has matured along the way. Great writing from Denise as yet again I found myself saying "just one more chapter and then I'll go to sleep" but of course it was never just one more lol.

Wow!! All of the books in the Rose Gardner Mystery series are full of suspense and intense moments but this book takes this to a new extreme. It’s the kind of book where your heart is pumping through a lot of the action scenes and you might just be a little afraid to read it alone at night. The way it’s written is amazing because you really feel the thoughts and emotions of the characters and you are right in the book with them, for better or for worse.

Just when you think it couldn't get any better. This book takes it to the next level. I love the romance and the thrill of this book. The chase and wondering if they will make it. Absolutely amazing story line, gets your heart going.
