A thrilling novel of romantic suspense from the New York Times bestselling author of As Good as Dead.
Twenty years ago, Jolie Royale was critically wounded during a shooting that left her mother, her aunt, and her aunt's suspected lover dead. The case was ruled a double homicide and suicide and quickly closed, though rumors abounded as to the murderer's real identity . . .
Jolie would never forget that day-but she could never recall the killer's face. And now she is coming home to Mississippi for her father's funeral. Her mixed feelings turn into dread when the investigation into the triple murder is reopened-and it becomes clear as day that a killer is still on the loose . . .
Determined to put the past to rest, Jolie turns to Max Devereaux for help. Years ago, he made no secret of his resentment toward her family, but it seems many things have changed-including Jolie's feelings for her unlikely ally. Now, as she and Max work together to put back the lost pieces of her memories, the striking distance between her and the killer closes. Someone can't wait for Jolie to remember his face, because by then it will be too late . . .
