A society wedding interrupted by deadly violence sends the bride into hiding in this romantic thriller by two New York Times bestselling authors.
Rory Abernathy’s wedding to Liam Bastian was supposed to be the event of the season. Instead, it was a bloodbath. Rory fled after stabbing a masked intruder, just before a gunman opened fire on the wedding party. Five years on, Rory still has no idea who was behind the attacks. Fearful she and her daughter remain targets, she’s made a new life far from Liam and the wealthy, powerful Bastians.
But even in remote Point Roberts, Washington, Rory can’t hide from the past. Liam tracks her down, stunned to learn they have a child. Did someone in Rory’s family try to kill him for his portion of the Bastian estate? As they gradually overcome distrust in search of the truth, Rory knows one thing for certain: someone is watching her…
Time has passed, but the killer’s need for vengeance hasn’t. And as a nightmare stirs to life again, Rory will find that this time, there’s nowhere left to run . . .

4 STARS
This was a really full story with plenty of suspects, but you will be really surprised when you find out, "who dun it" !
Rory and her daughter Charlotte are really interesting characters and Rory's mother was kind of a wackadoodle. Fairly harmless but also a bit of out of touch and a with few boundaries issues.
There were times I just wished Liam would grow more of a backbone. He was pushed and pulled by his family and the wannabe fiance, who all had their own agenda.
It felt like the story at times slowed down more than I liked but then things really took off leading to a dangerous confrontation.
There is a good Epilogue which I appreciated.
I read this story through the Libby, Library App.
