But her father-in-law, a small-time but brutal mob boss, is angry—and orders an underling to find her. . Meanwhile, Sara&’s husband—who despises his cruel, controlling father—learns of his father&’s plot and sends a friend into the mix to prevent the impending bloodshed. With multiple men searching for her, Sara is in danger. But she&’s not the only one . . . &“Neat turns of phrase and tight plotting make for an engaging read.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Nobody tells a story better than Cook.&” —Michael Connelly
