Publisher Description
From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, an emotional thriller where the lives of a young mother and a high-rolling consultant collide under devastating circumstances.
At a Texas county fair, children’s book author Elle Portman is enjoying a rare night out with her favorite cowboy: her two-year-old son, Charlie. But just as they’re about to head home, the unthinkable happens: a shooter opens fire into the crowd, causing widespread panic to erupt all around them. Also caught in the melee is corporate consultant Calder Hudson. When he wakes up in the hospital, he's told he's lucky. Others didn't fare we well, which instills in Calder a furious determination to get justice.
A chance encounter with Elle at the police station leads to a surprising gravitation to one another. But even as the attraction grows, Elle and Calder can’t help but wonder if the unimaginable tragedy that brought them together is too painful to bear—especially while the shooter remains at large.
Includes a Reading Group Guide.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A mass shooting brings two strangers together in this heart-wrenching thriller from the brilliant Sandra Brown. Life changes forever as someone opens fire at a Texas county fair. Children’s book author and single mother Elle Portman loses control of her two-year-old Charlie’s stroller, and when big-city business consultant Calder Hudson tries to stop it, he catches a bullet instead. Dealing with terrible losses, the pair team up to hunt down the missing shooter and soon find themselves drawn together in more ways than one in their search for understanding and justice. Brown’s mastery of the intricately plotted thriller is on full display here as her two survivors struggle to put their lives back together—and the killer resurfaces to threaten them both. Up through the shocking final twist, she weaves love, desire, grief, and terror into an utterly mesmerizing tale.
