Synopsis:

A RACE FOR SALVATION

For the past decade, psychologist Erin Sims has been helping victims of violent crimes move on with life . . . but the one person she can't save is the one who matters most. In only seven days, her brother will be executed for a murder he didn't commit. Convinced she knows the identity of the real killer, Erin is determined to find the man and bring him to justice.

A COUNTDOWN TO DESTRUCTION

Sheriff Nick Mann moved to rural Ohio hoping to forget the tragedies of his past. When Erin shows up in town, bringing scandal and unwanted media attention with her, Nick knows she's trouble. No one believes sleepy Hopewell could harbour a serial killer . . . until residents begin to disappear. Now as Nick untangles the dark secrets plaguing his town, he can't help falling for the beautiful woman with the warm heart and iron will. And, as the days tick by, the truth becomes clear: Erin is hunting a vicious murderer-one whose only escape is to silence her forever

The last eleven years for Erin have been all about proving her brother isn’t a murderer.  She needs to prove to everyone he’s innocent and put the real killer behind bars.  Unfortunately for Erin, everyone seems to be working against her and her brother only has moments before his life will be over.

With the suspect in her sights, she follows him to his new home under a new name.  Determined to prove he’s the killer, she tries to make him confess.  As she arrives in small town Hopewell, she’s greeted with mistrust and well they think she’s just plain crazy!

Erin has put everything she has into proving her brother innocent and refuses to give up or let anything or anyone get in her way.  Can she convince Nick to help her or will it all be too late?

Filled with twists and turns, this story kept me on my toes from the first page right up until the last moment.  Erin is quite the character; she’s determined, smart, independent and keeps Sheriff Mann on his toes.  Can the two of them figure out who is behind all of this before it’s too late?

Would I recommend this book?  Most definitely!  A great story, filled with mystery, suspense, plot twists and steamy romance.  Would I read more by this author?  Oh yes, I can’t wait to see what happens in the next two books – about Nick’s siblings!
