Jolie Royale does know a few things. She knows a brutal attack 20 years ago left her critically wounded, and left her mother, her aunt, and her aunt's supposed lover dead. She knows the case was quickly ruled murder-suicide. And she knows that she saw the killer's face, even though she can't remember it. When she returns to her family's plantation, Belle Rose, for her father's funeral, she's distressed to add a few new facts to that chilling collection. It seems the case is being reopened. The killer is still at large. Jolie's life is in danger. And the only person she can turn to is Max Devereaux, a neighbor who once resented the Royales yet now seems only too eager to help Jolie. She has loved Max for as long as she can remember...but Jolie cannot afford to trust anyone completely as long as her memory of the murderer remains incomplete. And, even as Jolie struggles to reclaim that elusive memory, she realizes that when she succeeds she'll be targeted as the next victim. Beverly Barton has a flair for seductively steamy romantic suspense that doesn't let up.
