Another tasty romantic thriller from Maggie Shayne. This is the second in a series, but you don't need to read the others to enjoy it thoroughly.
From back cover:
I'm not who they say I am. TRUST ME. But can she? Reclusive novelist Aaron Westhaven, a man she's admired -- and more -- for years, has accepted Olivia Dupree's invitation to speak at a local fundraiser. But the day he's due to arrive, she get a call summoning her to the bedside of a John Doe whose sole possession is her business card.
Can this undeniably compelling man -- survivor of an execution-style gunshot wound -- really be the novelist the lonely Olivia has grown to think of as a near soul mate? If not, he can be in Shadow Falls for only one reason: to kill her.
Olivia, too, has secrets. And discovering the truth about the man in the hospital bed means dredging up her own past -- a past she's been hiding from for sixteen years.

Great series! I'll have to find more Maggie Shayne to read.

Olivia Dupree is an English teacher with a secret past. This past has just surfaced to bring Olivia the fight for her life. When the book first starts off, we find that Olivia has asked her favorite reclusive author to speak at her university. She is extremely nervous to meet the man that has written such tender and prominent books that have touched her heart. What will he be like? Will he like her?
Aaron Westhaven is the elusive writer that Olivia has admired for years. He is scheduled to speak at her university but does not show up. Did he change his mind or did something happen. On the day that he is scheduled to arrive, Olivia gets a call from the police that there is a John Doe in the hospital. He has no ID except her business card. Is this the elusive Aaron Westhaven?
Kill Me Again by Maggie Shayne is the second book in this series but I happened to read it last and found it to be my least favorite. I had an extremely hard time getting into the story at the beginning and truly to the end. My main problem was that I felt like I had read the story before or it seemed very predictable. However, I would still recommend this book and definitely recommend this series. This series was the first time that I read Maggie Shayne's work and I will definitely read more. She has an excellent way of describing situations that I love.
