The events that followed changed her life forever. Twelve years later, the woman known as Abigail Lowery lives on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she designs sophisticated security systems--and supplements her own security with a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. But Abigail's reserve only intrigues police chief Brooks Gleason. Her logical mind, her secretive nature, and her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something--and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed. With a quirky, unforgettable heroine and a pulse-pounding plotline, Nora Roberts presents a riveting new read that cements her place as today's most reliably entertaining thriller author--and will leave people hungering for more., Harry the squirrel has never seen anything as beautiful as the Easter eggs that grandmother is hiding for her grandchildren's annual Easter Egg Hunt. And, apparently, neither has the jackdaw named Jack. It seems that Jack finds the colorful eggs so irresistible that he's gathered them all in his nest. What is he up to? The children will never be able to find the eggs so high in the tree's branches. Now, it's up to Harry to find a way to save the Easter Egg Hunt.
