Archaeologist Sarah Dunnemore is prepared for almost anything when she returns to her family home in Nightâs Landing, Tennessee...except the news that her twin brother, Rob, has just been seriously wounded in a sniper attack in Central Park. She rushes to New York to be with him, only to come up against no-nonsense Nate Winter, who was slightly wounded in the attack.
In his work as a deputy U.S. marshal, Nate is the best, but heâs willing to break the rules to track down his and Robâs would-be killer. Nate believes the official investigation is going in the wrong directionâespecially when he learns that Sarah is like a surrogate daughter and a confidante to her familyâs famous Nightâs Landing neighborâthe president of the United States.
When Nate suspects that Sarah has held back crucial information, he follows her to Nightâs Landing. Because Nate will let nothingânot his and Sarahâs growing attraction for each other, not the mounting danger they faceâstand in the way of the truth. But in a place filled with betrayal, greed and long-held secrets, truth is guarded with a deadly vengeance.
