She wants justice.
Washington television reporter Tess Abbott is the best in the business, always getting the story and the truth. When she receives an anonymous tip about a prison murder in her home state of Mississippi during a heated race for governor, Tess jumps at the chance to cover the race and uncover the truth.
He wants vengeance.
Newspaper reporter Spencer Reed is on the verge of uncovering a political scandal that could make his career—and the secrets in Tess Abbott's past hold the key. Despite the rivalry and adrenaline, focusing on the story becomes difficult when Tess receives another call that leaves her reeling.
The unsettling message stirs her memory, bringing back childhood nightmares—nightmares of murder. When a local man turns up dead—with personal information about Tess in his possession—the two journalists quickly realize there is a sinister connection between Tess's past and the election.
A killer wants them both dead.
As the pieces to the puzzle fall into place, a killer is primed to finish a job he started so long ago—a killer who will stop at nothing to bury the story . . . and them.

Metsy Hingle's Bio
Award-winning, best-selling author Metsy Hingle says writing romance novels seemed a perfect career choice for her since she grew up in one of the world's most romantic cities -- New Orleans. "I'm a true romantic who believes there's nothing more powerful or empowering than the love between a man and a woman. That's why I enjoy writing about people who face life's challenges and triumph with laughter and love."
Dubbed by Romantic Times as " . . . destined to be a major voice in series romance," Metsy has gone on to make that prediction a reality, with her books frequently appearing on national bestseller lists and garnering awards--among them the R.W.A.'s prestigious Golden Heart Award, and both a W.I.S.H. Award and a nomination for Best Silhouette Desire by Romantic Times Magazine.
Known for creating powerful, passionate stories and characters, Metsy's books are among readers' favorites, and with good reason claims New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown who says, "Metsy Hingle delivers hot sex, humor and heart . . . everything a reader could wish for!"
As much as Metsy loves being an author, it's her role as wife and mother that she holds most dear. Recently she turned in her business suits and fast-paced life in the hotel and public relations arena to pursue writing full time. According to Metsy one of the greatest joys of being an author is hearing from fans. She would love to hear from you. E-mail Metsy at [email protected], or write to Metsy at P.O.
