High Noon(ISBN=) 英文原版

From Publishers Weekly
At the start of this scintillating slice of romantic suspense from
prolific bestseller Roberts (Sweet Revenge), Lt. Phoebe MacNamara,
the chief hostage negotiator for the Savannah, Ga., PD, meets
Duncan Swift, a sports bar owner, as they both try to prevent a
suicidal bartender Duncan fired from jumping off a roof on St.
Patrick’s Day. In the aftermath, a romance develops between Phoebe
and Duncan, though in typical Roberts style the enigmatic Phoebe’s
devotion to career and family, who include a young daughter and an
agoraphobic mother, creates tension in their relationship. After
Phoebe survives a vicious attack within her own precinct house by
an unknown assailant, it becomes clear that someone is intent on
harming Phoebe and those close to her. A courageous protagonist,
deft plotting and the sultry Savannah backdrop all add up to
another winner for consummate storyteller Roberts. (July)

From Booklist
Savannah-Chatham police lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara is one of the
best hostage negotiators in the business, and her latest mission
involves talking down a suicidal jumper from a building owned by
Duncan Smith. Impressed by her cool, courageous actions and
intrigued by the sexy woman herself, Duncan charms Phoebe into
meeting him for a drink. As a single mother with family demands and
a career woman working in a testosterone-dominated field, Phoebe
doesn’t think there is any time in her busy schedule for romance,
but all of her famed negotiating skills can’t convince Duncan to
give up on a chance for a future with her. When Phoebe becomes the
target of a psychopathic killer out to destroy her professionally
and personally, Duncan turns out to be just the person Phoebe wants
by her side. The always reliable Roberts continues to find new and
clever ways to flawlessly fuse thrilling suspense and sexy romance
into captivating stories. High Noon will enthrall readers with its
irresistible combination of superbly crafted characters and a
danger-rich plot. Charles, John
