When Irene Stenson is summoned to her hometown 17 years after the murder-suicide of her parents, her reporter''s instinct, her hunger to know the truth, and a compelling ex-Marine lead her to risk far more than local gossip to sort out what happened to the best friend who summoned her--and what really happened the night her parents died.
About the Author
Amanda Quick is a pseudonym of romance writer Jayne Ann Krentz. Historical fiction is the specialty of this particular persona; Krentz uses Jayne Castle for the author's name on her futuristic pieces. The first three Quick books, Surrender, Scandal and Seduction, launched a pattern of sets of three with the same letter beginning each title. Fans had great fun trying to anticipate what the next title would be, some expecting a particular word to be spelled out. Krentz spoiled the fun by following …

Shy, studious Irene Stenson and wild, privileged Pamela Webb had been the best of friends for one short high school summer. Their friendship ended the night Pamela dropped Irene off at home - and Irene walked in to discover her parents’ bodies on the kitchen floor. It was ruled a murder-suicide, and Irene fled Dunsley, determined to wipe out every memory attached to her northern California hometown. But now she has been summoned back.
Pamela’s e-mail had been short and cryptic. More alarming, it included the code word they had used as teenagers, suggesting an urgency and secrecy that puzzled Irene. What could be important enough to make her former friend get in touch after all these years? She won’t find out - at least not from Pamela, who lies dead in the luxurious home of her father, a U.S. senator, pill and liquor bottles beside her. The shock has barely subsided before the rumors begin to swirl.
Irene had planned to get out of this place as quickly as possible. But her reporter’s instinct - and her own hunger to know the truth - compel her to extend her stay at the local lodge. Even more compelling is the man who runs the place - a hazel-eyed ex-Marine who’s as used to giving orders as Irene is to ignoring them. Luke Danner can see the terrified young girl hidden beneath Irene Stenson’s black-clad, confident exterior - and he is intent on protecting her. But he is also driven by passions of his own, and together they will risk far more than local gossip to sort out what happened to Pamela Webb, and what really happened on that long-ago summer night.

Caught today for the Virtual Romance Bookbox! Thank you I hope that you enjoy your books!
I'd never read anything by Jayne Ann Krentz before, which is surprising considering how popular and prolific she is, and that my mom has been talking her up to me for ages. Or maybe that's why. I have read one of her Amanda Quick books, WITH THIS RING, back in 2002, which at the time I simply noted was “pretty good”, though I don't remember anything about it now. A good mystery/suspense with some gentle romance thrown in. I’m glad now to know that I have several other Krentz books in my TBR pile as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
