Only the local art gallery owner--a beautiful woman with her sights set on MacGregor--knows the truth behind his crime. A truth that can shatter his life beyond repair....

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A good romantic thriller requires a dark hero who lives on the edge. Dare's follow-up to Dangerous Ground brings back Lake McGregor, an angst-ridden assassin working for W.O.L.F., a Mission: Impossible-style organization in which he's known as "the best, coldest killer that ever walked." While tracking a rogue agent who has killed several organization colleagues, Lake is called back to his hometown for his dad's funeral. Folks there still scorn him for accidentally killing his younger brother years beforeAeveryone but stunning art gallery owner Alison Carlyle, who is fascinated by Lake's passionate yet disturbing paintings. She has a message from his father that she hopes will free him from the guilt he's carried all these years, but the more she tries to help McGregor rid himself of past demons, the farther she is drawn into the dangerous labyrinth of his secrets. While the plot is scarcely unique, with a particularly unoriginal villain, Dare has a knack for romance and spins an engrossing tale. (June)

I could not put this book down. The twist at the end was totally unexpected. I liked the fact that the characters didn't fight too long and hard about their feelings for each other. This book is definately a keeper!!

Once again, Justine Dare has taken a tormented hero and given him another chance at love. This book deals with the Gray Wolf of the Wolf Pack -- and his story is completely absorbing. What's really nice too are the heroine's self-reliance and independence, and a sweet love story as a second plot line. You care about these people -- and you understand them completely. It's what I enjoy most about JD's writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is a keeper!, June 10, 1999

The prequel to this book appeared on my recommendations list, so I bought both at the same time. I just could not put them down -- and I am definitely glad I had both, because as soon as I finished the first, I had the second one in my hand within a matter of minutes!
