Product Description

M.C. 'Mac' Shefflington thought she'd finally escaped Tom Donaldson and her terrible past. But just as she's starting to relax at her new home in Minnesota, the hang-up calls start again. Then someone tailgates her several times on the way to work, in exactly the same way that Tom used to, and Mac knows he's come back into her life. Retired Sheriff Harry Mortonson is willing to help Mac because he hopes it might alleviate the guilt he feels about his own past, and the woman he didn't help years ago. But when he gets involved with Mac, he gets far more than he bargained for. In the end, it's up to Mac to lure Tom into a trap on one of Minnesota's frozen lakes for one final confrontation. If she succeeds, she'll save Harry and their chance for a new life together. But if she fails, Mac will have to live her past-again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mystery and Romance, August 19, 2009

By	R. Shiderly "believer" (N.C.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved this book. I had never read this author before but decided to give it a try because the plot sounded good. The style of writing is relaxed and it did relax me as I was reading it. It is perfect for those days when you feel lazy and just want a good read. I enjoyed the glimpse I had into Mac and Harry's world. I enjoyed the fact that the hero and heroine weren't perfect and young. Both characters were in their fifties but that didn't deter them from having a life and romance. I just overall enjoyed the novel because it felt so 'real'. Like I could go out to the Giggling Pig (a restaurant in the book) and meet them.

I will definitely be trying more from this author. Unfortunately, she only has five books out currently. I'm hoping for more in the future!

5.0 out of 5 stars Minnesota Suspense, Winter Romance, September 16, 2009

By	Laura Breck - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nowhere To Run is another great romantic suspense novel by JL Wilson. In the middle of a cold Minnesota winter, Mac Shefflington, a woman in hiding, needs help. Her ex-boyfriend, who tried to kill her ten years earlier, has found her, and is playing cat-and-mouse games with her.

She asks retired sheriff Harry Mortenson for help, and he reluctantly agrees to consider it, but he's plunged into the middle of the dangerous game when the killer, Tom Donaldson, sees Harry with Mac. Harry stays close to Mac to protect her, and the passion they find heats up the snowy northern nights.

Harry's a confirmed bachelor, but sweet, brave Mac is everything he'd never imagined he could find in a woman, and he scares himself when his thoughts turn toward making a life with her. Mac knows she can't become serious about anyone until Donaldson is permanently behind bars. She pushes Harry away, and denies her feelings.

Harry finds out Mac is being used as bait by a government agency intent on catching Donaldson, and there's no one willing to help them as they try to outmaneuver Donaldson. But Donaldson threatens to kill Harry, and Mac realizes she loves him too much to risk his life to save her own. She agrees to Donaldson's demands, sacrificing herself to save Harry.

JL Wilson writes an amazingly tight, well plotted story, with likable characters, and vivid scene descriptions, all the while teasing readers with glimpses of clues, and ominous character behavior, that make the story irresistible, and the conclusion unexpected and clever.
