Review: "Someone or something was in the basement". Ginny had heard
those cracking noises before. She headed for the basement.

the stairs. Then from somewhere in the dark shadows of the
room she heard a sound...a whispering voice, terrifying in it's

warning. You can't escape me. You are going to die". Ginny has

Eventually, it's the Sheriff who convinces her to return home. Ginny heads back to Gold Peak, Oregon, to painful memories and danger....

Sheriff Cully Black is investigating Mabel's and Jim's murders. Because of his past with Ginny, he feels it's his personal duty to convince her to return for the reading of the Will. Black quickly sees a change in Ginny. Her eyes, once blazing green fire, are now guarded. When she refuses to consider her foster parents' wishes, he gets the impression she prefers the big city to Gold Peak. The cowboy cop takes his duty seriously when Ginny finally admits her fears....

This may be Doreen Roberts' first romantic suspense for Harlequin Intrigue, but her veteran status as a romance writer clearly shines through. She does a splendid job of blending romance with suspense. The false leads are just enough to move the story along, but Roberts knows what romance readers really want--a masterfully told tale of a deeply emotional relationship. Highly recommended.
