Abandon

ABANDON Rediscover this thrilling story of action, intrigue and romance from New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers. On a quiet long weekend in New Hampshire, Deputy US Marshal Mackenzie Stewart is viciously assaulted at the lakefront cottage of her friend, federal judge Bernadette Peacham. The attacker escapes, and it becomes clear he was more than a deranged drifter when FBI special agent Andrew Rook arrives. Mac knows Rook isn’t up from Washington, DC, to set things straight between them after their whirlwind affair. He’s on a case. The investigation takes an unexpected turn when they return to Washington to find Bernadette’s ex-husband, a powerful attorney, shot to death. Then Bernadette disappears, and Mac and Rook realize the stakes are higher than either had imagined. Originally published in 2007
