Sleeping with the Enemy
“On Ice” follows Rene Desmond who is on the run! Deathly scared of her abusive husband Mark, Rene and her sister Maddy concocted an elaborate escape plan from Houston, TX to Sad Horse, Alaska. The temperature might be cold inside the Arctic Circle, but Rene and her two children Seth and Sara found warmth from the very caring townspeople of Sad Horse. And Rene also found herself very attracted to Brett, the town’s patriarch and Rene’s boss. The attraction was mutual.
Unknown to Rene, Mark was hell bent on finding her, following Rene’s false trail to Europe. Finding only Maddy, Mark walked a destructive path of lies and deceit plus assault and battery. To Mark, Rene had to be punished for leaving him and he would not stop until his wife got what she deserved.
Alternating scenes between Houston and Sad Horse and the story being told in several points of view, the readers are treated to a romantic suspense that is worthy of Tom Clancy and John LeCarre. All the characters, including the supporting ones are fleshed out and thus readers can find themselves living Rene’s nightmare while wondering what is going on with Mark’s convoluted mind.
