In her stunning 200th novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better “when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance" (Booklist, starred review). Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing.

The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights.

And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

Nora Roberts, a New York Times bestsellerszerzoje egy felejthetetlen tolvajt mutat be új, feszültséggel teli regényében, amely kapzsiságról, szerelemrol és túlélésrol szól... Harry Booth kilencévesen kezdett lopni, hogy teto legyen beteg édesanyja feje felett. Éjszakánként fényuzo, üres házakba lopózott be, hogy olyan tárgyakat keressen, amelyeket készpénzre cserélhet. Amikor édesanyja végül megadta magát a ráknak, Harry elhagyja Chicagót, de az éjszakai tevékenységét továbbra is folytatja. Outer Bankstol Savannah-n át New Orleansig vándorol, új személyazonosságot szerezve magának, miközben mindvégig óvatos, éber és távolságtartó marad. Nem engedheti meg magának, hogy feltunést keltsen... vagy kötodjön valakihez. Ennek ellenére alábbhagy az ébersége, amikor Miranda Emersonnal találkozik, de a kettejük közötti eros kötelék nem lehet tartós, mert nem minden tolvaj követi Harry becsületkódexét. Néhányan másokat fizetnek meg, hogy vállalják a kockázatot, hogy ok maguk még több kincset halmozhassanak fel. Néhányukat az a vágy hajtja, hogy úgy birtokolják az embereket, ahogyan ok a festményeket és ékszereket. És miután Harry elvállal egy jövedelmezo munkát Carter LaPorte megbízásából, LaPorte meglát egy eszközt, amelyet felhasználhat, és úgy dönt, hogy birtokolni akarja Harryt. A férfi ragadozó, méghozzá félelmetesebb, mint a mocsárban kísérto aligátorok, és amikor rákényszeríti Harryt, hogy kiraboljon egy baltimore-i múzeumot, Harry elhagyja Mirandát - kegyetlenül, minden magyarázat nélkül -,és eltunik. De nem számít, milyen nevet használ, vagy hová megy, LaPorte árnyékot vet az életére. Ahhoz, hogy valóban szabad legyen, szembe kell néznie, egyszer s mindenkorra le kell számolnia az ellenségével. Csak így remélheti, hogy birtokába kerül valami, ami értékesebb, mint bármi, amit valaha is ellopott...
