Lindsay O'Neil has been separated from her husband, police detective
Zack Kier, for a year now. The only thing left is for the divorce
papers to be signed. Zack's alcohol abuse coupled with his one night's
drunken mistake destroyed Lindsay's faith in him. So when a stalker
sets his sights on Lindsay, being forced to spend time with Zack just
makes things seem so much worse. Zack has never forgiven himself for
the pain he caused Lindsay and has spent the past year trying to clean
up his life. He's succeeded by taking it one day at a time and now
he's ready to try and put his marriage back together. He knows that
convincing Lindsay to take another chance on him is a long shot but
he's determined to do whatever it takes. But before they can move
forward, Zack has to protect Lindsay from the person stalking her,
otherwise he may lose the woman he's never stopped loving before he
can let her know how much she means to him.

I've read many of Mary Burton's historical romances but must admit
that this is my first contemporary romantic suspense written by her.
I'm Watching You is a well-crafted suspense tale with just the right
amount of romance to keep flipping the pages. Both Lindsay and Zack
are flawed characters that the reader quickly grows to care about. The
identity of the Lindsay's stalker is well hidden until the end and
keeps the reader guessing. While the storyline of Zack's betrayal felt
somewhat unresolved and left questions unanswered, the emotion between
Lindsay and Zack was palpitable. I'm Watching You made me hate
flipping the last page, wanting more of Lindsay and Zack. I'll
certainly be keeping my eyes out for more romantic suspense by Mary
Burton!
