Daniel Gray Wolf, code name Lightning, is an operative for Gray Wolf Investigations, a top-notch private detective agency. His latest assignment is to find Hannah Jones and return her to her Uncle Deacon Roberts Jones. He claims that Hannah hit him over the head before absconding with church funds. When Lightning finally finds Hannah two thugs try to abduct her but Gray Wolf halts their attempt.

Hannah is grateful to the Navaho warrior for protecting her. She explains to him that she is suffering from amnesia and the last thing she remembers is being handcuffed in a car with a man outside who was going to shoot her. Daniel is not totally sure who is telling him the truth but he knows he's not turning over Hannah to anyone until he knows what is going on. The pair work together to uncover the truth and in the process, they fall in love.

Though amnesia has been used as a device for a zillion novels and movies, Aimee Thurlo has written an exciting romantic thriller that makes the ploy seem fresh. Most women will adore the hero and want he or his clone at their side; the audience will admire the fortitude of the heroine determined to find out the truth no matter what it costs her personally. The fast paced story line will keep readers turning the pages until all the facts of the who-done-it is revealed. WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES is romantic intrigue at its best.
