Cover of Night - Linda Howard

For breathless action, gripping suspense, and intense romance, bestselling author
Linda Howard never misses a beat-and her thrilling new novel will have your heart
racing.

In the charming rural town of Trail Stop, Idaho, accessible to the outside
world by only a single road, young widow Cate Nightingale lives peacefully with her
four-year-old twin boys, running a bed-and-breakfast. Though the overnight guests
are few and far between-occasional hunters and lake fishermen-Cate always manages
to make ends meet with the help of the local jack-of-all-trades, Calvin Harris, who
can handle everything from carpentry to plumbing. But Calvin is not what he seems,
and Cate's luck is about to run out.

One morning, the B&B's only guest inexplicably
vanishes, leaving behind his personal effects. A few days later Cate is shocked when
armed men storm the house, demanding the mystery man's belongings. Fearing for her
children's lives, Cate agrees to cooperate-until Calvin saves the day, forcing the
intruders to scatter into the surrounding woods.

The nightmare, however, is just
beginning. Cate, Calvin, and their entire community find themselves cut off and alone
with no means to call for help as the threat gathers intensity and first blood is
drawn.

With their fellow residents trapped and the entire town held hostage, Cate
and Calvin have no choice but to take the fight to their enemies under the cover
of night. While reticent Cal becomes a fearless protector, Cate makes the most daring
move of her life . . . into the very heart of danger.
