Trust Me by Brenda Novak
Four years ago Skye Kellerman was attacked in her own bed. She managed to fend off her knife–wielding assailant, but the trauma changed everything about her life. As a result of that night, she joined two friends– also survivors– in starting The Last Stand, an organisation to help victims of crime.
But now her would–be rapist is getting out of prison. Skye knows that Dr Oliver Burke hasn't forgotten that her testimony cost him his reputation– and his freedom.
Sacramento detective David Willis, who investigated her case, believes Burke is a clear and present danger– and guilty of at least two unsolved murders. And now Burke is free to terrorise Skye again. Unless David can stop him. Unless Skye can fight back. Because Oliver Burke has every intention of finishing what he started. And that's a promise. Trust me.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The inaugural Skye Kellerman novel from Novak (Dead Right, etc.) generates genuine thrills. Attacked four years ago at home by rapist and murderer Oliver Burke, Skye defended herself and put him behind bars. Inspired by her own struggle, Skye began the Last Stand an organization focused on helping survivors and teaching self-defense. She is also wrestling with an attraction to the detective from her case, David Willis. When Burke cuts a deal, the fiend is out on the street, eager for revenge on Skye who has been the focus of his continued obsession. Novak changes the pace by focusing on the families of the victim, of Willis, of Burke showing different sides of protective love. Skye's fellow members of the Last Stand get short shrift, but readers will look forward to books in the series devoted to each woman.
