Justice lies just on the other side of fear
At the advice of her therapist, Harper Reynolds has traded her job as a crime scene photographer for a more peaceful life taking photographs of the natural world. But her hopes for a life surrounded by the serenity of the outdoors are dashed when she inadvertently captures a murder being committed. She flees the scene in fear--and loses the camera.
Former Green Beret Heath McKade, a reserve deputy in an understaffed county, has been called in to protect Harper, a childhood friend he is surprised to see back in the area. When Harper learns that the sheriff's department can't find any evidence of the murder she witnessed, she is determined to do what she can to see that justice is done. What neither Harper nor Heath could know is how many explosive secrets from the past will be exposed--or how deeply they will fall for each other.

My thoughts (Reviewed by Steve): E
Before opening this book, brace yourself. Elizabeth
Goddard has a knack for leaving you breathless, while stealing your heart at
the same time. Quite a talent, that.
Harper Reynolds has hit the wall, and at the advice of her
therapist has stopped photographing crime scenes, and began photographing
wildlife. Her talents have been recognized, and rewarded, enabling
her to invest in top-notch equipment. Just in time to become an
eyewitness to a murder.
Lovely.
Writing at a rapid – fire pace, author Elizabeth Goddard has also
managed yet another feat of creative writing skill: she has packed
her pages with memorable characters, engaging themes, and breathtaking settings
which she skillfully weaves together in such a way that the reader has the
impression that he or she is walking side – by – side with the characters.
This can be quite disturbing when one realizes that one is being
hunted down like a rabid animal. I mean, even the villain is
memorable . . . and gains a sop of sympathy from the most callous and careless
of readers.
5 stars for fast-paced suspense with a romantic twist
I received this book free of charge in exchange for my open and
honest review.
