Cry mercy - Mariah Stewart

From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart comes a novel of sexy romantic suspense for fans of Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, and Karen Robards.

After Ann Nolan, a California beat cop, adopts the daughter of a notorious drug dealer,
the ruthless father vows to take back his only child. In response, Ann flees across
the country, changes her name, and starts a new life as an investigator for the Mercy
Street Foundation, the billionaire-endowed organization dedicated to finding missing
persons. As Emme Caldwell, she takes the lead on the Foundation's first case: Nineteen-year-old
Belinda Hudson disappeared from her sorority house leaving behind only one cryptic
clue. Retracing the vanished student's steps leads Emme to Heaven's Gate, a fertility
clinic, and the mysterious Donor 1735.

Belinda's legal guardian, Nick Perone, is
determined to shadow Emme's every move as she searches for his niece. But the closer
Emme gets to Donor 1735 and the chilling truth, the more apparent it becomes that
she's escaped one dangerous man only to run head-on into another-one who's far more
determined and every bit as deadly.
