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.

Out of nowhere
Great storyline, believable characters. Would have loved it if all the explicit sex scenes had been referenced rather than delved into. I’m not a prude, just prefer my own fantasies rather than reading someone else’s.
7/10
Really not that exciting but it’s a good book
I couldn’t put it down!! I loved it!!
I love the creativity and intrigue of Sandra Brown’s writing and her new book, “Out Of Nowhere” kept me guessing until the very end as to who was responsible for the heartbreak and despair felt by the community after the tragedy at the fairgrounds. As I began reading I was taken aback by the direction the story was going but I was soon rewarded with a riveting tale of the pursuit of justice by Elle and Calder, who were thrust together during the police investigation. They were a formidable team who sought the truth while at the same time, attempting to ignore the personal feelings that were growing between them.
Elle is an author/illustrator of children’s books and I believe her creative mind and soul helped her deal with the sadness in her heart. When her mind wandered to her magical and carefree characters, she was able to find peace amidst the danger that was swirling around her. Calder was a successful and mysterious businessman who was smitten with Elle from the moment they met. He was torn between leaving her alone so she could get on with her life, or becoming her best friend, someone she could confide in when she was sad. As they grew closer they realized that no one wanted the truth more than they did, and that it was impossible to know who you could really trust. In the end, their quest for justice brought them into a perilous situation that I never saw coming. Elle and Calder rose above the threats and chaos and came out with a bright and hopeful outlook on their future. Life may have led them down a sad and lonely road but now that they had each other, anything was possible.
