Liam O’Shea is your typical Irish ex-Special-Operations guy who now works for a security company. Typical? Well, in the world of romantic suspense. Anyway, he’s on his way to the family home for an event in his big Irish family when he almost hits a woman with his car. The woman, a tall, gorgeous red-head, of course, is somewhat beaten-up, somewhat hysterical, and quite incoherent. Liam takes her home where his doctor sister diagnoses a few scrapes and bruises and hysterical amnesia. So maybe something terrible has happened to the woman who turns out to be Sara Regis, or maybe she’s some sort of spy who wants to get information about the security company he works for.

When Sara is almost the victim of a car bomb, and seems to be of on-going interest to two low-level mob types, Liam becomes increasingly convinced that Sara’s plight, and her terror, are genuine.

Although the rest of the story continues in a typical Intrigue fashion, it remains and enjoyable read. ( )
