内容简介 The Heiress and the Hunter
Known as the Somerton heiress, Cameron is wary, because her life has been marred by tragedy. Determined to silence the whispers—and end the nightmares—that haunt her, she must uncover the secrets of her past. . . . And then the heiress meets a stranger. With the air of a hunter, big, hard-looking Hayden Olson moves in next door. Has this man been sent to harm her?
On a mission to clear his father's name, Hayden was once the Somerton gardener's son—and young Cammie's cherished playmate—and now she's the key to the answers he seeks. But Hayden hadn't expected the heiress's fiery sensuality or his fascination with her. In his arms, Cameron finds unexpected safety and a unique challenge. But can she trust him with her body and not her heart?
When the hunter and the heiress become uneasy lovers, a dormant evil stirs—one that believes murder is a small price to pay to keep the secrets of the past buried. But whoever is out to harm Cammie hasn't counted on her strength . . . or Hayden's determination to protect her—at all cost!
作者简介 Cait London is a national award-winning, bestselling author who fully enjoys the perks of her career, like traveling and meeting readers.
Cait's contemporary, fast-moving style blends romance with suspense and humor, and brings characters to life by using their pasts and heritages. Her books are filled with elements of her own experiences as a scenic and wildlife artist, a photographer, a mountain hiker, a gardener, a seamstress, a professional woman, and a homemaker. She also enjoys computers and reading, aromatherapy and herbs.
Of German-Russian heritage, Cait grew up in rural Washington State. She is now a resident of Missouri and the mother of three daughters, all taller than she.
The best events in her life have always been in threes, her good luck number. Cait London says, "I enjoy creating romantic collisions between dangerous, brooding heroes and contemporary, strong, active women who know how to manage their lives. I believe that each of my books is a gift to a reader, a part of me on those pages, and I'm thrilled when readers say, "That was a good book.'"
编辑推荐 From Publishers Weekly After 10-year-old Hayden Olson found his father dead, an apparent suicide, the authorities wasted no time pinning the kidnapping of six-year-old child heiress Cameron Somerton on him—he was, after all, their gardener. But 28 years later, H.J. can't quell suspicion that his father was murdered and framed. Returning to the Oklahoma estate where the kidnapping and suicide occurred, he finds Cameron, a beloved playmate before the tragic incidents, sure that she can fill in some answers to his long-simmering questions. Instead, he finds more mysteries to investigate, including the circumstances of Cameron's mother's death and the intentions of Cameron's cruel stepfather, Robert DuChamp. Bestselling novelist London (
Flashback) has created a deliberate, atmospheric tale of dangerous passion and slippery memory, giving characters room to play out their suspicion and mutual paranoia. Although frequent sex scenes should please London's fans, some will be frustrated by repetitive exposition and the way hero and heroine withhold information from each other. The final twist will surprise few, and those seeking a coherent thriller will be left scratching their heads over several plot points, especially the impossibly shoddy police work upon which the story hinges.
