From Booklist
You know this isn't your typical damsel-in-distress tale when the heroine, Delaney Arlen, snowbound in an isolated mountain cabin, shoots the hero, Gareth Treymane, with rock salt only a few pages into the story. The second book in a trilogy following
Paradise Island [BKL Mr 15 01], Hale's newest features a gritty, resourceful heroine with a frightening secret in her past; a dark, dangerous hero; and international villains with truly evil intent. The duplicitous nature of almost every character leaves you guessing who the good guys really are. Readers who enjoy the romantic suspense of Catherine Coulter, Linda Howard, and Iris Johansen will relish the many thrills as an unlikely couple zips from one near miss to another in this action-filled drama. The third installment is due out in March 2002.
