About this ebook

A woman’s search for her half-sister forces her into an alliance with a sexy PI—and into the path of a killer waiting for the right moment to strike—in Meryl Sawyer’s captivating tale of romantic suspense
 
South Beach isn’t far from Coral Gables, but to Taylor Maxwell, it’s a world away from the place where she was born and raised. Yet nothing, not even the tall, dark, and handsome man who just moved in across the courtyard, can distract her from her problems. Her terminally ill mother just dropped a bombshell: Taylor has an older sister who was given up for adoption thirty years ago, and Taylor’s mother has hired a security firm to find her.
 
Enter Taylor’s sexy neighbor, PI Shane Donovan who just got a lead on the woman who could be Taylor’s long-lost sibling. Taylor and Shane track her down in New Orleans, but with the family’s multimillion-dollar cosmetics company at stake, the Maxwells want the woman in question to undergo a DNA test. Then, just as Taylor’s relationship with Shane heats up, a web of tangled secrets is exposed and a killer strikes, with a plan to destroy Taylor’s family—and ensure that Taylor never wakes up again.

Meryl Sawyer

Meryl grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the only child of a single mother. She gives her mother credit for her love of books and encouraging her to write. When Meryl was in the third grade her birthday gift was an ancient Underwood with the E key missing. That didn't stop Meryl! She wrote stories and went back and put in the E with a pencil. She's been writing ever since - first on a typewriter, then a word processor, then a computer. When Meryl finally decided to get serious about writing - by serious she meant wanting to see her work in print - Meryl attended the Writers Program at UCLA. She had graduated from UCLA years earlier but this time she returned to study writing. There Meryl was fortunate to meet Colleen McCullough, author of Thornbirds. She was on tour and one of Meryl's instructors threw a cocktail party to introduce Colleen to some aspiring writers. Colleen was unbelievably warm and charming and helpful. "Write what you like to read," she told the students. Meryl had always wanted to be a female Sidney Sheldon - so that's the direction she took. Meryl completed a novel, attended seminars, met an agent and had offers from four different publishers within two months of finishing the book. That's not every author's experience, but it happened that way for Meryl. She jokingly says, "I thought I would be famous by Friday - Saturday at the very latest. Here I am eighteen years later. Not famous but successful, and more importantly, happy." One thing all Meryl's books have in common is animals. Her canine buddies have even helped Meryl's career. They have spent countless hours under her desk while she was writing. Meryl loves to hear from readers. She may be reached on the web at www.merylsawyer.com.
