Dr Emma Randall sat beside the body on the ground, gently brushing the hair from his forehead with her face deeply etched in grief. But she knew she couldn’t stay there, as there was a cyclone heading her way, and it would be there within minutes. Suddenly she spotted a figure stumbling toward her house – he looked terribly injured; as she debated what to do, the man fell and didn’t rise again.

But she knew she couldn’t stay there, as there was a cyclone heading her way, and it would be there within minutes. Suddenly she spotted a figure stumbling toward her house – he looked terribly injured; as she debated what to do, the man fell and didn’t rise again. Leaving the body, she rushed to the fallen man; struggling while looking at his injuries in horror, she half supported, half dragged him to the house and into her surgery.

Completely isolated on her farm in the O’Connor Valley south of Cairns, she had learned to rely on no-one but herself. So after tending to the stranger’s injuries, she battled the winds to drag the body to shelter in the nearby shed. Then she prepared for the cyclone which was upon them, making them both as safe as possible while they rode out the hugely damaging storm.

Drew Jarrett, a lawyer from Cairns who had been on a fishing holiday in the nearby bushland had managed to escape his captor, a man he called the devil – his horrific injuries shocked Emma, but Drew had no idea who had tried to kill him. But with the storm still raging around them, there was nothing that could be done…

Once the flood waters had subsided and the roads were once again opened, Emma took Drew back to Cairns where he could be properly assessed at the local hospital, as well as report the incident to the police. But the danger intensified when a body was found, murdered brutally. Did this murder have anything to do with Drew’s abductor? As Emma was fighting her growing feelings for Drew, the evil was surrounding them – did they really need to dance with the devil?

I absolutely loved this fast paced and gripping thriller by Aussie author Sandy Curtis. I have read and loved most of Sandy’s work now, and in my opinion, this is one of her best. The building romance between the two leading characters was enjoyable; the incredible plot was brilliant! I have no hesitation in highly recommending this, and all, of Sandy Curtis’ novels.
