Product Description:
Bestselling author Andrea Kane delivers a pulsating blend of corruption, seduction, and bone-chilling suspense in one of the most sensational blockbuster thrillers of the year. From its opening scene to its shattering climax, the dark undercurrents of murder and love entwine in her most powerful and edgy novel yet.
Manhattan attorney Victoria Kensington is deeply alarmed when she runs into her sister, Audrey, in Central Park -- clad in a hospital gown and fleeing from unknown pursuers. As Audrey collapses at her feet, warning about danger, Victoria rushes for help. When she returns, Audrey has vanished from sight.
Despite threats against her life, Victoria vows to discover her sister's whereabouts. She works alone until the only man she ever loved, Zachary Hamilton, suddenly appears in New York. Assigned to investigate a worldwide drug syndicate, he suspects it may tie in to Audrey's disappearance. Together, Victoria and Zach race against the clock to crack the deadly drug ring and ?nd Audrey. While they work, they ?nd the white-hot electricity between them recharging to a fever pitch. Pursuing the shocking truth that might tear Victoria's family irrevocably apart, she and Zach begin to unravel a complex web of deceit -- which echoes terrifyingly back to Victoria's own life.

Setting: New York City, present day
Sensuality rating: 8
High-powered attorney Victoria Kensington knows how to protect herself. In fact, she's spent her whole life protecting her vulnerable sister, Audrey, from their stern father's disapproval. But when Audrey, who's supposed to be painting in Venice, collapses at Victoria's feet in Central Park dressed only in a hospital gown, Victoria doesn't know what to think. And when Audrey disappears without a trace, Victoria will do anything to find out what has happened to her sister, even if it means allowing FBI associate Zachary Hamilton, the only man she's ever loved, back into her life--and her heart. Even if it means finding out her father knows a whole lot more than he's letting on, Victoria will let nothing stop her from saving Audrey. But when Victoria has several close calls, Zach insists on sticking close to her, really close. Will Victoria find a second chance at having the kind of family she always wanted and maybe even a second chance at love? Andrea Kane creates a knockout of a suspenseful romance, one that will keep readers guessing until the very end.--Alison Trinkle

Andrea Kane is on Fire!!! I was more than pleasantly surprised since this is one of her earliest books and she still managed to make an outstanding job at it! I am a fan of Mystery/Romance books and have read more than my fair share. After reading this book (as well as her other books), all I can say is that you are missing out if you haven't read one... I have a feeling Ms. Kane will go far... If you are looking for the perfect blend of Mystery and Romance then Andrea Kane is what you need :-)

The story is clever and interesting. However, I wonder if the author has ever actually been to Manhattan? I also wonder if she actually has any close siblings or if she's ever actually had a conversation with someone. The exchanges mostly felt stiff and unrealistic. The descriptions and the dialog was so obvious at times, I kept wanting to say, "Duh!" right out loud (which tends to make people look at you funny on the subway...).

A section early in the book made the CEO of the Hope Institute obvious. After I finished reading, I realized that scene had no purpose in the scope of the book. So instead of being shocked at the culprit's identity, I was disappointed at how obvious the author made it.
The book was about 100 pages too long -- and 95 of those pages were probably taken up with the explicit sex scenes between Victoria and Zach. I thought it was overdone.

The day Victoria Kensington found her sister, Audrey, unconcious in Central Park, she realized that something more was going on than she originally thought. With a whispered word to Victoria, Audrey blacks out leaving Victoria no option but to go for help. When she returns, Audrey is gone. Victoria's only course of action is to go to her father, who always knows where Audrey is. When she gets the run around from him, she starts questioning his motives for keeping the truth from her. In her family, it was always Victoria that ran interferance for her mother and sister against her father. Soon Victoria realizes that there is more going on than she ever expected, especially when the only man she's loved has come back to Manhattan to find the same answers that Victoria is looking for.
What is the Hope Institute?
Zach Hamilton has spent his life waiting for the day to bring the drug syndicate that killed his father to justice. Ever since that day that his father mistakenly stepped into the crossfire, Zach realized that the course of his life had changed. When he finds Victoria several years later, he finds more than a lover, he finds a soulmate. It has been four painful years since their parting, but Zach knows that he won't let her go this time around. The only question is, will they be alive to work out all their differences?
In my very first Andrea Kane book, I was not dissapointed. Kane brought so much life into her charachters, that while to plot was far fetched, it was definetely believeable. While Victoria works on her issues about her obsession with independence, Zach comes to terms with the fact that he can't let his life be ruined by the people that killed his father. You also have Victoria's father who obviously loves his daughter, but doesn't show it in the best way possible.
Don't miss it!

The beginning of the book is very good, you think that you will never put the book down, the fight of Victoria with her father, the way she found her sister the very first time, the way she help married woman and the way she save her sister, all that part of the book was well written and you will never put the book down while you read this.
BUT, the love story of Victoria with Zach is really very boring, it takes you out of the story so many times that you will want to leave the book, but the end of the book is very good...don't leave the book.
What happened in the love story?...when a writer writes FOUR explicit sex scenes with the same couple (Victoria and Zach), for me, that is a signal that the writer doesn't have anything else to write and he or she wants to write many pages in the book...
