Synopsis
A woman must defend herself against the sinister, money-grubbing machinations of an estranged branch of her family in this work of romantic suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of MURDER LIST. Unbeknownst to Kate McKenna, her long-lost great-uncle has just left her the bulk of his considerable fortune. From Kate's point of view, however, her luck seems to be taking a turn for the worse-- her previously successful candle and beauty products business is now skating on thin ice and she narrowly escapes death from two separate explosions. As Kate's troubles mount, her best friend Jordan's brother Dylan, a police detective, comes to her rescue, determined to help Kate with her problems and in particular, to discover who wants her dead and why.

Reviews
Maybe it is just me, but I am getting a little tired of Garwood's 'unpretentious beauties' who are clever and successful in every aspect of their luves except they have no sense when it comes to men. Maybe I am getting tired of seeing the same family of brothers in the stories or the group of friends/sisters who always are more savvy and are trying to get these incredibly gorgeous women married off. They just don't seem 'real' to me but maybe I just like my characters to be more than cookie cutter stock. Garwood does have a pretty good sense of humor, otherwise I would not read her at all. Maybe I expect that a book categorized as 'suspense' I would find some but generally I don't feel it from her books. The 'sspense' is simply a backdrop for a romance novel. Maybe I will read SHADOW FANCE but I will probably wait until it is available from booksfree.com instead.
