However, the peace and quiet she hoped to enjoy in her hometown is soon shattered. A killer is murdering Sarah look-alikes on the 14th of each month, taunting Sarah with a valentine of evidence. After her experiences in Seattle, Sarah is slow to go to the police. When she finally does, she finds Detective Steven Quaid-Anchorage P D's hotshot investigator-has not only heard the rumors, he believes them. Worse, her aloofness and composure only confirm his suspicions. Is Sarah a victim or a very skilled manipulator?"Detective Steven Quaid, an unflappable sleuth, is baffled by the clues left behind by a serial killer and his feelings for his most likely suspect. Sarah, an ice queen of sensational beauty, intrigues rejects and frustrates the detective who finds himself falling in love with her against his will. This sweetheart mystery is set in the moody backdrop of the Northwest. Cliff House, Sarah's winter home in Seattle, overlooks a roiling sea and misty shores perfect for a murder scene. Her secluded estate outside of Anchorage lends itself to ethereal evenings beneath a billion blinking stars. This romantic, twisty turner gives no secrets away until the very end.
