Standoff
2 journalers for this copy...
This is the first Sandra Brown novel I've read and I wasn't disappointed. I'll definitely be searching for more of her novels.
From back cover:
"T.V. reporter Tiel McCoy is driving to New Mexico for a well earned vacation when she hears the news on the radio: The teenage daughter of Fort Worth tycoon Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. Immediately, she abandons her holiday plans to chase down what could be the scoop of a lifetime. But in a town called Rojo Flats an innocuous stop at a convenience store thrusts her directly into the dramatic story-and a dangerous drama. For inside the shop two desperate young lovers are holding a half dozen frightened hostages...and a powder keg of a standoff is about to test Tiel's courage, journalistic objectivity, and everything she has ever believed."
I must say, this was a page-turner!
