You're drawn to stories that trap characters in confined spaces with mounting tension and moral dilemmas.
You appreciate Sandra Brown's ability to blend character development with page-turning suspense.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer thrillers where the hero is a trained professional or detective rather than an ordinary person thrust into danger.

You struggle with stories involving hostages or violence that might feel uncomfortably real.

About this book

TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving to New Mexico for vacation when she learns that the teenage daughter of Fort Worth tycoon Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. She abandons her holiday to pursue the story, hoping it will advance her career. In the town of Rojo Flats, a routine stop at a convenience store places McCoy directly in the middle of an unfolding crime. Two desperate young lovers are holding a half dozen hostages inside the shop, creating a dangerous standoff. The situation tests McCoy's courage, journalistic integrity, and her core convictions.
