Descrizione dell’editore
#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen provides her trademark blend of seductive romance and pulse-pounding suspense in this classic tale of a woman who unexpectedly finds herself living—and loving—on the edge of danger.
Lisa Landon makes her living with her voice—a voice fueled by a heartbreak she vows never to experience again. But despite her renown, Lisa’s real ambition is to escape the memories that follow her from one sold-out engagement to the next. Perhaps that’s what brings her to the exotic desert nation of Sedikhan and the nightclub where she meets Clancy Donahue.
Clancy takes one look at the beautiful, vulnerable chanteuse and knows she is exactly the woman he’s been searching for. The Sedikhan security chief needs to bait a trap for a terrorist moneyman, and Clancy is certain that Lisa will be irresistible. What he doesn’t count on is that he won’t be able to resist her either—and that he’ll do anything to protect her, even if it means risking his own life. With deadly plans in motion and Lisa in the crosshairs, Clancy realizes that before their romance can get to always, it will first have to reach tomorrow.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Singer Lisa Landon is performing at a club in the foreign country of Sedikhan and trying to escape both painful memories and her jealous stalker of an ex-husband, Martin Baldwin who also happens to supply arms to terrorists. Clancy Donahue, head of security for Sedikhan, is out to capture Baldwin and decides to use Landon as bait, but along the way ends up falling in love with her. Although the book's clich d dialogue sounds even more trite when read aloud, narrator Janet Metzger treats it respectfully, reading with expression and emotion. She also ably differentiates the characters, adding a slight Irish accent for Donahue, a vaguely Russian accent for a housekeeper, and a deeper voice for the brutal Baldwin. As romances on audio go, this one is somewhat by the numbers; fans of the genre may enjoy it, but it doesn't really stand out from the pack. A Bantam paperback.
