      Wyatt Foster è un uomo che fa innamorare: calmo, sorridente, osservatore, più incline ad ascoltare che a parlare. Tessa Leoni, con lui, vorrebbe mettersi i tacchi, sciogliersi i capelli, ma tutto questo dovrà aspettare. Ora devono indagare insieme, e non c'è tempo da perdere, perché un'intera famiglia è stata rapita: Justin, Libby e Ashlyn Denbe. Anche Justin è un uomo che fa innamorare: forte, sensuale, generoso e persino ricco, promette di regalarti il mondo. Libby si è innamorata e tanto; quando è nata Ashlyn pensava che la sua felicità non sarebbe mai finita. Quindici anni dopo, scoprire che Justin la tradisce con una ventenne è una vertigine. Non bastano una collana di brillanti e una cena romantica per recuperare la fiducia. Come affrontare, adesso, costretti a un'intimità forzata, il terrore di un sequestro? Fuori, nel mondo libero, Tessa e Wyatt cercano indizi a perdifiato. Ci sono misteriosi buchi finanziari nella grande azienda di Justin, e i dirigenti non fanno che mentire. Chi ha rapito la famiglia Denbe in casa sua conosceva i codici per disattivare l'antifurto. Doveva essere una persona vicina, quindi, ma perché non arrivano richieste di riscatto? E soprattutto, si chiedono Tessa e Wyatt, sono ancora vivi, Justin, Libby e Ashlyn Denbe? Noi lettori lo sappiamo bene: sono vivi, in grande pericolo e tutti e tre nascondono segreti. Forza Tessa, forza Wyatt, più in fretta, più in fretta…
