Helpful Score: 2
It's different from Smith's other novels.. has more romance than her other ones. I have all of her books.. so I would recommend them all if someone likes this one.
From back of book:

But suddenly the past descends on her once again, and Mallory becomes tangled in a web of deceit and violence woven by a cruel and powerful figure.
Now, finding the truth about her parents' murder is an obsession. With the clock ticking, Mallory is drawn into a deadly contest with a madman set on revenge.
