Publisher Description
Share the joys, heartbreaks and triumphs of the people who inhabit the small Oregon town of Thunder Point with #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr.
With its breathtaking vistas and down–to–earth people, Thunder Point is the perfect place for FBI agent Laine Carrington to recuperate from a gunshot wound and contemplate her future. The locals embraced Laine as one of their own after she risked her life to save a young girl from a dangerous cult. Knowing her wounds go beyond the physical, Laine hopes she'll fit in for a while and find her true self in a town that feels safe. She may even learn to open her heart to others, something an undercover agent has little time to indulge.
Eric Gentry is also new to Thunder Point. Although he's a man with a dark past, he's determined to put down roots and get to know the daughter he only recently discovered. When Laine and Eric meet, their attraction is obvious to everyone. But while the law enforcement agent and the reformed criminal want to make things work, their differences may run too deep…unless they take a chance on each other and find that deep and mysterious bond that belongs to those who choose love over fear.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Carr's fourth contemporary set in Thunder Point, Ore. (after The Hero), is enjoyable and heartfelt. FBI agent Laine Carrington nearly died during a deep undercover stint at an Oregon cult commune. She returns to the area to reclaim part of the life she nearly lost and to escape the East Coast, where her hypercritical father criticizes her every move. Auto body shop owner Eric Gentry is also a recent addition to the tiny beachside town of Thunder Point. His baggage includes a stint in prison and a daughter he didn't know he had until recently, but the fed and the felon immediately form a close bond. Then Laine's father drops shocking news into the middle of the relationship, leaving the lovers floundering. As usual, Carr delves into the lives of others in town, laying the groundwork for future books. This cozy read satisfies.
