A former government agent must seek help from her ex-lover to save their child in this stand-alone thriller by the bestselling author of the Eve Duncan series. After an assignment goes sour, rookie CIA agent Grace Archer flees Morocco, the agency, and the father of her unborn child, fellow agent Jake Kilmer. Eight years later, she and her daughter live in hiding on an Alabama horse farm. Unfortunately, her past has just caught up with her: a Moroccan crime lord wants both Grace's uncanny ability to train horses and revenge on Grace's estranged lover.

Wherever you stop, he'll be waiting...
The picture was a warning: they'd found her. For eight years Grace Archer hoped this day wouldn't come-and knew in her heart that it would.
She'd taken her daughter, Frankie, to a rural Alabama horse farm that might just as well have been at the end of the earth. But the man out to kill them would gladly follow them that far. And now, it seems, he had.
A woman with a highly classified past, Grace has never run from anything in her life. But as a mother, she'd do anything to keep eight-year-old Frankie safe. Now that safe world has been shattered, and a ferocious hunter has been unleashed. Suddenly the agency that owed Grace its gratitude and protection has abandoned her and only one ally remains: a man even more dangerous than her worst enemy.
She hasn't set eyes on Jake Kilmer since the catastrophic events of eight years ago. Now he's asking Grace to trust him with the one thing more precious to her than life itself. But with a ruthless criminal kingpin determined to make her pay for the past, Grace and her daughter's lives on the line, and time running out, she just may have to put her faith in a man who she believes has already betrayed her once.

An excellent read, I couldn't put it down. Iris Johansen at her best.

This book started out good as is typical with Iris Johansen. After a while I felt like it would never end.

This is the first book I've read by the author. Was not impressed. Was told some of her other books are good. Characters in this book were phony. Story repetitive, and boring in places.
