Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2001 | Series: The Stars of Mithra

She couldn't remember a thing, not even who she was. But it was clear Bailey James was in trouble. Big trouble! And she desperately needed Cade Parris to help her live long enough to find out just what kind.

The moment the cool-headed private eye laid eyes on the fragile beauty, she almost had him forgetting who he was. If Bailey was a criminal, Cade would eat his hat. But what was she doing with a satchel full of cash and a diamond as big as a baby's fist? And how could he unravel this mystery if he kept tripping over his heart?

Cade Parris takes one look at the beautiful blond that walks unannounced into his office and falls in love. Unfortunately, the stunning woman is there to hire the handsome private investigator to find a missing person: herself. Fragile and clearly vulnerable, Bailey James doesn't even know her own name. Nor does she know why she's carrying a tote bag filled with more than a million dollars in cash, a pistol, and a priceless blue diamond. Fortunately for Cade's heart, Bailey is as undeniably drawn to him as he is to her. However, neither of them know if she's free to give her heart. Together they search for clues to her identity in the sweltering heat of Washington, D.C., in July, but unveiling Bailey's past is hopelessly entwined with the mystery of the diamond, the cash, and the gun. Before Cade can claim Bailey as his own, they must follow a twisted path to a killer and survive a life-threatening attack. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start to a series!, October 15, 2001

This was a great start to this "star " series. I can't wait to read the next. I am a true fan of Nora Roberts and love all her novels. I think she is the most wonderful suspenseful romantic writer and I absolutely love her mystery series "in death". I normally don't read the silhouette, Harlequin genre and after reading this I am not sure why.
Like a lot of Nora's books it is a series and should be read in order so that is what I intend to do.

Bailey is a mysterious women who has a gun, a diamond, a lot of money and amnesia. She hires a Private investigator named Cade to find herself as she only has flashes of who she thinks she is.
The story is short and fast paced and a wonderful mystery and romance. It is great for a quick read if you are one who can't put a book down until the end and don't have a lot of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Series is Wonderful. What a Great Read., September 10, 2001

I LOVE Nora Roberts books.

Bailey has amnesia and she hires Cade to help her find out about herself. With a pile of money,a gun, a diamond worth a lot, a mysterious lady and a man- this mystery/romance is worth the read.

I thought it was kind of ironic to have amnesia and hire an PI to find yourself. What a different twist to the typical amnesia romance story. Of course, that is why I Love Nora Roberts books so much, because they are not typical.

These three were no exception. The one complaint that I would have with these three is that the definately work better if you read them in order. This is very rarely the case with Nora Roberts series. Usually each book in a series can stand alone or be read out of order with little loss in clarity. However, this series seemed to build on each other.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced and Fun!, November 28, 2001

This review is from: Hidden Star (The Stars of Mithra) (Mass Market Paperback)

"Hidden Star" is the first book in Nora Roberts' "Stars of Mithra" series and I found it highly entertaining. It kept my attention the whole way through and contained a very original storyline.
Bailey walks into Cade Parris' Private Investigator's office on a rainy day with quite a dilemma. She has no idea who she is and has a bag containing over a million dollars in cash, a gun, and a giant blue diamond. She hires Cade to find out who she is and what has happened to her, and their adventure begins there. Cade and Bailey find themselves immediately drawn to each other, and the whirlwind romance they share amidst the mayhem around them is sexy and fun. The story is well-written and does not take the path of a usual amnesia story.
If you enjoy innovative and fast-paced mystery/romance, this book will not disappoint. Despite the fact that it is a relatively short novel, the characters are well-developed and also very likeable. This book is just good, clean fun!
