Seamlessly blending heart-pounding romance and breathless intrigue, NY Times bestselling author Linda Howard writes a masterful, stylish, and provocative suspense novel that totally defies readers to put it down.

Daisy Minor is usually bored. Worse than that, she’s boring. A plain, small-town librarian, she’s got a closet as sexy as a dictionary and hasn’t been on a time in years. She’s by no means even experienced a lukewarm romance, let alone a hot one. So when she wakes up on her thirty-fourth about Open Season birthday, still coping with her widowed mother and spinster aunt, she chooses it’s time to get a lifestyle.

But can a lifelong great girl turn poor? No, not exactly.

But she may pretend, right?

One makeover later, Daisy has transformed herself right into a party girl extraordinaire. She’s letting her locks down, dancing the night time away at clubs, and laughing and flirting with men for the very first time in, well, ever. With a fresh lease on her own place and her existence, it’s open period for man-hunting.

But on her way home later one evening, Daisy views something she’s not supposed to see. Instantly the target of a killer, she’s compelled to put her manhunt on keep. But the extremely moment she halts looking might be the moment she discovers what she’s desired all along. Trouble is certainly, before he can talk about her life, he might just have to save it.
