Marcelle Deschamps, the golden girl of world cycling, struggles to cope after the death of her husband, a famous racing driver. Life is a challenge, where even a restful night’s sleep is impossible. She saves Stefan Ziegler’s life when she finds him helpless and wounded, and gives him shelter in her home. Soon she finds out that her patient has the uncanny ability to grant her the peace that has eluded her for two years. Claude, a close friend, warns her that Stefan is a soulless killer, and not the man he pretends to be. Should she believe him, or listen to what her heart tells her? Can she risk trusting the man who holds her heart in his hands?

Excerpt from Crossfire:
Stefan’s lighter skin and pale hair contrasted with her memories of her husband’s dark features against the white hospital sheets. She remembered from the passport photo that in health he was remarkably handsome. Now a day’s dark stubble shadowed lean cheeks and a strong chin, and silky blond hair spilled onto the pale green pillow cover. His mouth looked as if it could smile often, his parted lips revealing regular white teeth. It was a perfect face, she had to admit, sinister in its beauty, like a mask that served to conceal something hideous. A shiver passed through her. Perhaps when he woke and she could see his eyes, she might feel reassured she had made the right decision.

Review by: hrhsophia on March 16, 2013 :
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I liked that the author was not afraid to give both characters a dark side which was more realistic with their pasts and present. What was not realistic was the rapid ascension of both to the top of their respective careers as well as the 4-year long disguise. However I loved the chemistry and cannot wait to read more!

Great first book in the trilogy. A few spelling/grammar errors where I had to reread sentences but it really took nothing away from the final product. I found myself quite engrossed towards the end and really didn't want it to finish! Off to buy the 2nd instalment immediately.

I have read the first two ebbooks in the trilogy and find myself waiting with great anticipation for the third installment. I found both stories believable and I had great sympathy for both the main characters. Can't wait for the rest!! Please let your fans know when to expect #3 and what it will be called? I already looked on Twitter...
