Another great one by Brown. Quick read. Written so well, it was like you being in the Standoff yourself.

The book is about:
A fearless reporter trapped in a volatile siege, two young lovers turned fugitive and a holdup that transforms a small desert town into a powder keg.
TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving down Interstate 20 on her way to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation. But her itinerary is rewritten when she hears on radio that the teenage daughter of a well-known Fort Worth multimillionaire Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. At least, that's the official report. In truth Sabra Dendy is pregnant and has run away with her boyfriend, Ronnie Davison. After calling her editor, Tiel abandons her holiday plans in favor of pursuing the story.
Then, in a town called Rojo Flats, during an innocuous visit to a convenience store, Tiel will come up close and personal with the barrel of a gun, the desparate young lovers - and the scoop of a lifetime.
In the electrifying standoff that follows, she will meet and grow to trust a strangely familiar local rancher whom fate has also sent to the scene of the crime. She will learn why the two young runaways fear the wealthy father of one of them even more than the FBI... and why, casting off a reporter's impartiallity, she must defend them against a world bent on their destruction.
