Someone tried to kill me today. Watch your back.

P.S. You should have picked me, little girl...
They survived a deadly airplane crash. Conor took the blame, Alec disappeared and Cherish's life changed forever.
A year later, another crash and a mysterious message reunite Cherish with the two men from her past: Alec, the man who loved her, and Conor, the lover she couldn't forget. Together, they must stop a terrorist from killing again. But as the investigation unfolds, Cherish's faith is put to the test... as she tries to decide if one of the men she trusts could be the real killer....
"A TERRIFIC WRITER."—JAYNE ANN KRENTZ
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Following Wrapped in Wishes, her delightful twist on time travel, Bicos has opted for romantic thrillers. But in providing the elements of both romance and suspense, Bicos has tended to weigh down her books. Here, Bicos puts all the puzzle pieces on the table, making the first 80 pages markedly less than romantic or thrilling. Cherish Malone works for the company designing the wing of an experimental plane. A year and a half before, the prototype had crashed, bringing pilot Conor Mitchell and co-pilot Alec Porter into her life. Alec loved her, she loved Conor, and Conor left her at the altar. Then Alec e-mails her that he's in danger, but Conor discovers Cher is the one in danger and the two are forced together to solve a mystery that involves alien abductees, Russian scientists, a renegade governmental operative and an unscrupulous businessman. In the final tally, the book is rather longer on suspense than on romance. The romance that's there veers from being sensually satisfying to unconvincingly rococo--what man would think, "What was it Proust had said? The taste of the madeleine... that's what it had been like. Tasting her. Remembering. Feeling it all over again, that wild ride of the heart"?
