It's the perfect wedding: tropical sunshine, glamorous guests, a beautiful bride who came from nowhere to marry a handsome Hollywood millionaire. But the day is about to take a shocking turn.
Lisa Costello has all the expensive clothes and exotic vacations that come with dating a rich man. But her relationship with Josh Steen is a sham. Yet nothing could have prepared Lisa for the morning after their decadent wedding in Thailand. Josh is dead - and it looks like Lisa killed him.
As Lisa escapes, ex-FBI trainee turned jornalist Sam Murray is on her trail. Suspecting a set up, both Lisa and Sam face a race against time to uncover who's really behind the hit. With a professional assassin moving in for the kill, the clock is ticking fast......

Review by: shellcruise (Shelley)
Dated: 29th of June, 2015
This is the sort of book where you take the phone of the hook, you shut the bedroom door and you tell the husband to take the girls out for the day as you curl up on the covers and read from cover to cover. Its fast paced, exciting and a real page turner. Like all Louise Bagshawe books I loved it.
The plan is always to read 'just one more chapter' but when you get to the end and you need to know what is going to happen next. I started reading on Saturday night and thought one chapter will do I ended up fighting my eyes until after midnight and managed two. Up the next morning and I thought why not just one more chapter and then the day had practically gone. I left the last two chapters because I did not want it to end but could not resist so after girls in bed, dinner done and dusted I kissed hubby good night and was back in to the excitment.
The chapters are long. Anywhere from 20 - 35 pages. Where so much can happen in such a short amount of time. Lisa wakes to find her newly married husband as been murdered and at first thought she assumes she did it. On the run she finds out that she didn't and an assassian is on her tail. Needing help she enlists the help of a reporter. There is the adventure, true romance, murder, intriged - Bagshawe is a master when it comes to this style of book.
I love everything about it. The characters are so intriguing and she has a way with her words that you can imagine every scene. It completely spellbinds you and you become part of the story. These sorts of books really need to be made into movies. Everyone should read.
