About the Author:Jayne Ann Krentz's acclaimed ""New York Times"" bestsellers include ""Light in Shadow, Smoke in Mirrors, Lost and Found, Soft Focus, Eye of the Beholder, Flash"", and ""Grand Passion"". She writes contemporary romantic suspense novels under her own name, futuristic novels as Jayne Castle (also available from Pocket Books), and historical romance novels under the pseudonym Amanda Quick. She lives in Seattle.
Review:Until she receives the single red rose, Kimberly Sawyer had no intention of calling Darius Cavenaugh. Actually, it isn't the rose so much that prompts Kimberly to contact him as the needle hidden inside it. This is the first clue that the people running around in monk's robes with silver daggers are serious, and Darius is not taking any chances with Kimberly's safety. The next thing Kimberly knows, she has been whisked away to Darius' Napa Valley winery with nothing to worry about except how to finish her latest book. Kim could only see one potential problem with calling in a favor from Darius. As a writer, she is used to telling her characters exactly what to do, but when it comes to their relationship, Darius isn't taking orders from anyone but himself. With its beguiling blend of snappy dialogue, sharply delineated characters, and unfailing suspense, this classic Krentz, available in hardcover for the first time, is a guaranteed winner. --Booklist, 1st June 2010
