Though her career can’t afford distractions, he may be her sole source of safety when she gains the unwanted attention of a relentless stalker.

Ex-sniper Brad Jordan survived his tour of duty, but a tragic accident cost him the lives of those closest to him. With his faithful border collie Whiskey by his side, Brad gets a second chance when he protects the beautiful Jessie from danger. When the ballerina’s stalker grows more brazen, Brad’s tactical training may be their only weapon against tragedy.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a bit of everything, drama, love, suspense, thriller and a good storyline set in an Australian country town. The author writes in a very visually descriptive way, which I love. It really brings the story to life. Without giving a spoiler, there’s an interesting underlying story about how different childhood experiences can influence our lives in a positive or negative way - if we let them. Highly recommend this read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gut wrenching facing demons
    Reviewed in Australia on 12 June 2018
    Jessie and BJ. The battles they face firstly her demons and then his. The reader not only identifies with the depth of the characters but also the depth of their pain. The line that showed Skip’s horror was “ and when did you last see your mother” . His answer was chilling. Retribution came to Frank, too lightly. Through the pain viewed and acted upon, strength persevered and the love developed between Bradand Jessie exclipes them all. I received an advanced copy of this book and recommend to anyone wanting to be a winner, not a victim.

    I'm not sure what make me purchase this romance/suspense novel. Possibly the title. Loved it from start to finish. The important thing for me was the story flowed, characters introduced believable, troubled but so likeable, scenery had me daydreaming & just sometimes many short chapters work very well. It's not shock horror, it's not nail biting but it is genuine out there stuff which all adds up to being exceedingly readable.
