Book Description:
For breathless action, gripping suspense, and intense romance, bestselling author Linda Howard never misses a beat-and her thrilling new novel will have your heart racing. In the charming rural town of Trail Stop, Idaho, accessible to the outside world by only a single road, young widow Cate Nightingale lives peacefully with her four-year-old twin boys, running a bed-and-breakfast. Though the overnight guests are few and far between-occasional hunters and lake fishermen-Cate always manages to make ends meet with the help of the local jack-of-all-trades, Calvin Harris, who can handle everything from carpentry to plumbing. But Calvin is not what he seems, and Cate's luck is about to run out. One morning, the B&B's only guest inexplicably vanishes, leaving behind his personal effects. A few days later Cate is shocked when armed men storm the house, demanding the mystery man's belongings. Fearing for her children's lives, Cate agrees to cooperate-until Calvin saves the day, forcing the intruders to scatter into the surrounding woods. The nightmare, however, is just beginning. Cate, Calvin, and their entire community find themselves cut off and alone with no means to call for help as the threat gathers intensity and first blood is drawn. With their fellow residents trapped and the entire town held hostage, Cate and Calvin have no choice but to take the fight to their enemies under the cover of night. While reticent Cal becomes a fearless protector, Cate makes the most daring move of her life . . . into the very heart of danger.

Linda Howard is one of my favorite writers of romantic suspence. She pulls the reader into both sides of the story. I like that the "romance" is almost secondary to the real plot of the story.

Enjoyable characters that you want to get to know. You want everything to turn out ok so you can't put it down until you know they are.

Another intriguing story from Linda Howard. There is always a point in her books where you cn no longer put it down. You just have to see how it will all work its way out.

Another terrific book from Linda Howard. This book is not as sexually charged as previous titles, but the book is powerful and captivates. A small town is cut off from the outside world and taken hostage as enemies fight to recover damaging computer documents that can topple illegal activities. The hero and heroine save the day.

Loved this book. Great romance with the heroine starting over with her twin sons and the hero seeming laid back until she really needed him. Fast paced. Great read.

This was an excellent book about a woman who is a survivor on many levels.
Very exciting and romantic as well. It can open your eyes to see the possibilities that exist in our lives.

The story line was good with great characters and good plot but every time I read a Linda Howard book I tell myself it will be the last because of all of the superflous information she includes that has no relevance to the story line whatsoever. She tells us what color peoples clothes are and how pretty the storm clouds floating by are and a persons every thought during a suspenseful moment; which isn't needed.

Linda Howard did it again. I loved this book, even though it was a little slow at the start.

As Howard knows so well how to do, this novel is an interesting combination of thriller, mystery and romance.

From back cover: In a remote rural town, young widow Cate Nightengale runs a charming bed-and-breakfast. Business is quiet, but she makes ends meet with the help of the local jack-of-all-trades, Calvin Harris.
Then one morning, the B and B's only guest vanishes. When armed men storm the house a few days later, Calvin saves the day, forcing the intruders to scatter into the surrounding woods.
The nightmare, however, is just beginning. With the entire town held hostage and cut off from the outside world, Cate and Calvin have no choice but to take the fight to their enemies under the cover of night. While reticent Cal becomes a fearless protector, Cate makes the most daring move of her life...into the very heart of danger.

Great book from Linda Howard. This book is exciting, and not as focussed on sex as some of the others. Interesting dynamics of a small town, and action involves how a small town which is cut off from the outside world works together.

No one of Linda's best. Hardly any romance to speak of. Okay read.
