Woken in the dark of night by a loud thump in the vicinity of the front door, Emma Richmond thought at first it was the possums wanting more food. But she couldn’t have been more wrong – the body of a man; pale, bloodied and unconscious fell at her feet as she opened the door. When she discovered one of the wounds on his battered body was a bullet wound, she wondered who this stranger was – was he a criminal or an undercover policeman?

But she couldn’t have been more wrong – the body of a man; pale, bloodied and unconscious fell at her feet as she opened the door. When she discovered one of the wounds on his battered body was a bullet wound, she wondered who this stranger was – was he a criminal or an undercover policeman? Either way she had to get him warm and dry; he wouldn’t survive otherwise.

As Emma learned a little about the enigmatic and extremely private man who had stumbled to her door, she felt sceptical about his tale. The truth she felt was something Nick Marshall was hiding. And when he impressed on her that there were to be no police involved, she knew that she should fear this man. But even though part of her felt she couldn’t trust him, the other part was attracted to him. Emma’s past had shattered her confidence; her life had been in ruins and she had spent the past five months at this little weekend cottage recuperating. Her guilt over the death of her husband Paul wouldn’t leave her – there was no way she was going to get involved with a man like Nick who had so many secrets and couldn’t seem to tell her the truth...

With Nick slowly recovering from his wounds, Emma knew he would leave as soon as he was able. But she knew there was danger surrounding him – his dark mood swings frightened her at times, and he would brood – she could tell he was worried, but about what she had no idea. What would be the result of Emma’s unexpected meeting with this stranger; the man she now felt so much for?

A Tender Deception by Aussie author Sandy Curtis is another exceptional story. I thoroughly enjoy her work and even though this one is a little different to her usual crime fiction, I loved the building suspense and tension, plus the budding romance between the two characters. The plot is a gripping one; the secrets held are intense. The setting of this novel in and around Bundaberg in Queensland is excellent as well. Highly recommended.
