I really liked this book. A Lot! I haven't read any other works by this author, but after reading this one I plan to check them out.Sam Carter has just bought a run down house on the beach. He always preferred to hide away in small towns, while writing his books. He also writes under a pen name to insure his privacy. While fixing up the house he runs across a lot of different people in town, but no one has intrigued him more then Anna, who works at the local bakery. She's not the type of woman he would normally go for, but there was something about her that made him want to get to know her better.Everyone in town is talking about this mysterious stranger who has recently shown up. They all have their own little theories of who he really is. Their theories have run the whole gamut from him being a well known movie producer, to him being a international spy.Anna is just as intrigued with Sam, as he is with her. That doesn't mean she trusts him though. She's been burned badly once already and isn't willing to take that chance on any guy again, at least not any time soon. Anna has a secret of her own, too. She's an artist but no one but her sister has ever seen her paintings, and she doesn't even have a clue about the depth of her work.Eventually; through a lot of patience and perseverance, Sam finally gets Anna to agree to a date. They have so much fun together at the fair, that Anna agrees to go on a second date. When the time finally comes for that date to take place, an old flame of  Sam's shows up at Anna's father's house as they were getting ready to leave. Patrice has come there to win Sam back, and she'll stop at nothing in order to achieve that goal, even if it means killing the woman who is standing in her way.From there on...the story gets so intense, that I'll guarantee you'll find it very hard to put down.Would I recommend this book? Yes, most definitely!
