Andrea Kane is a new author for me and I just can't seem to get enough of her books. Run for your life was not a disappointment. I hated to put it down and then hated it when it ended. I wanted more! Highly recommended!
High-powered attorney Victoria Kensington knows how to protect herself. In fact, she\'s spent her whole life protecting her vulnerable sister, Audrey, from their stern father\'s disapproval. But when Audrey, who\'s supposed to be painting in Venice, collapses at Victoria\'s feet in Central Park dressed only in a hospital gown, Victoria doesn\'t know what to think. And when Audrey disappears without a trace, Victoria will do anything to find out what has happened to her sister, even if it means allowing FBI associate Zachary Hamilton, the only man she\'s ever loved, back into her life--and her heart. Even if it means finding out her father knows a whole lot more than he\'s letting on, Victoria will let nothing stop her from saving Audrey. But when Victoria has several close calls, Zach insists on sticking close to her, really close. Will Victoria find a second chance at having the kind of family she always wanted and maybe even a second chance at love? Andrea Kane creates a knockout of a suspenseful romance, one that will keep readers guessing until the very end
I enjoyed this. A good romance/mystery read. A little heavy on the "between the sheets" description, but if you're like me, you'll just skim over all that heavy breathing stuff after the first couple of graphic descriptions.
Victoria finds her sister in a gown and barefoot on her jogging path warning about danger.When she returns with help,her sister has disappeared.
From Publishers Weekly
Following a string of historical romances, Kane (The Theft; The Gold Coin) plunges into the popular world of contemporary romantic suspense. Kane's strong suit is her ability to create memorable characters; consequently, the plot is driven not only by events, but also by the wants, fears and histories of heroine Victoria Kensington, a 28-year-old Manhattan attorney, and hero Zachary Hamilton, a brilliant 30-something intelligence expert. Victoria's fear of dependence, rooted in her relationship with her Machiavellian father, caused Victoria and Zach's initial breakup four years earlier and hinders their getting back together after an incident in Central Park involving Victoria's unstable sister, Audrey, apparently running from unknown pursuers in a hospital gown. Audrey's flight and disappearance somehow involves the secretive Hope Institute, and not only forces Victoria to face her relationship with Zach, but also to deal with her father, who may be involved in drug smuggling with the Institute.
