The Search by Nora Roberts
5.0
Fiona Bristow lives on Orcas island where she trains dogs in obedience and Search and Rescue. Armed with the water protecting her and her three dogs, she shields herself from a past where she once starred as a victim. Down her lane, comes Simon Doyle, artist and owner of a puppy in need of training. Fiona faces two dilemmas as she teaches Jaws, his puppy, and lives her life. One, she's not prepared to open her heart to a prickly and stubborn man, and she's fearful of the past she buried to catch up to her.
Perry, a serial killer had once kidnapped Fiona with a stun gun, gagged her, drugged her, and threw her in a trunk when she was twenty. Somehow, she escaped and Perry came after her and killed her fiance and his dog. Now, eight years later, his proxy is out to finish the job. This time, the island is her advantage.
As she deals with his proxy, Eckles need to finish Perry's job, and her fight to keep normalcy in her life, the balance is tilted and she has to fight to hold on to it.
Roberts is skilled at bringing characters to life, building suspense, and keeping us invested in the story. It's a great book I'll keep re-reading when the mood arises.
