Maid of honor Jo O'Malley had a bad case of prenuptial jitters. A new kind of psychopath was stalking the normally intrepid private investigator, one who seemed to know the intimate details of her private life, one who used innovative technology to diabolical ends.
Best man Cameron Randolph recognized his own inventions--that were stolen in a case of industrial espionage that remained unsolved--and that held a secret torment for the brilliant scientist.
He'd do his level best to protect Jo and help her track her tormentor, but he was about to make one terrible mistake: he didn't tell Jo all he knew.
Ruth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.
Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).
Here is the story behind reading some of the older Rebecca York books. Several years ago while volunteering at our local library book sale, I bought two crates of older Harlequin books because I couldn't bear to see them go into a dumpster. Thus I became the owner of about 80 of these books. Fast forward to the COVID-19 Quarantine of 2020 and I need some "Y" titles to finish portions of those 'No Deadline" challenges. Yes, you know the ones! Low and behold, I find the two crates of books shoved into a closet filled with lots of Rebecca York titles! Eureka! The answer to my challenges!!
While dated, they're fun to read. Enjoyable writing is in the details, and Rebecca York does her research. I do have to keep reminding myself that these are books written in 1990, so the heroine cannot hit the emergency button on her cell phone; answering machines and pagers! LOL! But, these books are short and entertaining and are taking my mind off the craziness of these current times. Be safe out there!
Entertaining story. The hero is an inventor type of guy who has fancy gadgets. The heroine is a detective. Both are interesting jobs that provide for an interesting story. This got marked down a star because there were too many coincidences for me.
It sort of reminded me a bit of some of the detective novels with women. End seemed a bit off. Not as bad as book 1, but I think I am done with her books.
