Threats and Promises

By Barbara Delinsky

Heat level

Behind closed doors

Certain that someone is trying to kill her, businesswoman Lauren Stevens begins to suspect Matt Kruger, the man who claims to be a close friend of Lauren's brother. ALL SHE WANTED WAS A NEW LIFE -- BUT DID IT BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE? Lauren Stevens was so preoccupied with her new image and thriving new business that she didn't notice a pattern to the peculiar little incidents that kept happening. A car that had gone out of control and nearly run her down; a dog that attacked her for no reason.... And someone had definitely been in her house, going through her lingerie. Just as Lauren was starting to feel threatened, Matt Kruger turned up, claiming to be a close friend of her brother's. But Lauren's brother had been dead for more than a year, so why had Matt appeared now? He was too attractive, too easy to be with... and too interested in her. What did he really want?
