From the moment Lisa and Braden meet, danger ignites around them, and both are drawn into a web of intrigue that turns their lives upside down. As shadows creep in, will Lisa and Braden be able to shine a light on the peril around them? Or will the encroaching darkness turn their worst nightmares into reality?

3.5 stars
"People can run but they can't hide. . . . Revenge is within reach."
Braden Dillinger didn't make a good first impression on Lisa Garth when he put her in a chokehold; but in his defense, those threatening text messages had put him on high alert. Someone was trying to kill the former Special Forces soldier . . . . weren't they? . . . he was having a hard time remembering, and what he could remember was all jumbled up.
When Ty and Cassidy had asked Lisa to welcome Braden Dillinger to Lantern Beach, she never expected to have such a violent introduction. But the man had apologized repeatedly for his mistake and seemed to relish the opportunity to heal his body, mind, and spirit from an extreme brain injury there on the island. There was just something special about Braden, and Lisa couldn't let go of her desire to know the "real" Braden, no matter how many times he confused her.
Fans of Christy Barritt's Lantern Beach series will love shining the spotlight on Lisa, whose culinary talents had put her on the map, but whose lonely heart was starving for the right kind of attention; could she have found what was missing in her life in the form a broken and battered national hero?
