In Morgan’s romantic suspense novel, Jolene Atkins was the only living witness to her mother’s murder, only she had forced the memories down so deep she had no recall of the event. After twenty years, the killer is back and U.S. Marshal Levi Cooper is sworn to serve and protect her even though he disobeys his commanding officer to do so.

Levi had been close to Jolene’s father and had promised him he’d protect her. When Jolene announces that she is ready to get to the bottom of things, Levi steps up to help her. Exploring their mutual attraction forces both of them to work harder to solve the mystery of her parent’s deaths so they can discover what life holds in store for the future.

Action-packed, fast-paced hard to put down suspense. ( )

Very good book. Besides the physical danger Jolene is in from the person who wants her dead, there is also the psychological suspense of Jo's returning memories. I really liked both Jo and Levi. She started out not wanting to believe that her nightmares were actually returning memories. When her father was killed in a suspicious accident she became the next one in danger. She hadn't known until then that Levi was also her father's contact with WITSEC not just his friend. She had started developing feelings for him and then felt deeply betrayed when she thought that she and her father were just part of Levi's job. I liked the way that she decided that she really wanted to get some answers and began to trust that Levi would keep her safe. She was also a lot stronger emotionally that she thought she was and was able to stop fighting the memories. She also stopped fighting her feelings for Levi. I also liked the way she started to take an active role in their plans rather than just going along with Levi even when it got her into trouble. I thought her plans at the end were pretty good and that she did a decent job of trying to anticipate any problems that might come up.

Levi had gone above and beyond his job as a marshal. He was not supposed to get personally involved with the people he protects, but he was strongly drawn to Jo and her father. His friendship with Jo's dad led him to do some things on his own to keep an eye on Jo and try to protect her. After her father's death he went against orders in order to watch over her. He had a lot of inner conflict regarding his feelings for her and also feeling that he wasn't doing a good enough job protecting her. I loved seeing him try to fight his feelings knowing that once she went into WITSEC he would never see her again. But he also could not bear to desert her when he knew she needed him. I loved the way that he was able to help her with her memories but also was able to comfort her when she needed it. I thought he was a little too trusting of his contacts but it did all work out for him in the end. ( )
