From cover:
Cat Delaney is a TV personality who experiences a lifesaving medical miracle, only to be trapped in an ever-tightened web of danger. On its edges lurk sinister shadows and cruel lies. At its center waits an unknown stalker reaching for her with the hands of a killer.
It all begins with Cat's new heart. One of several patients who receive transplants on the same day, Cat doesn't know her donor's identity. She only knows that intead of returning to her glamorous, high-profile career, she feels compelled to change her life.
Leaving Hollywood for San Antonio to host a TV show spotlighting adoptive children with special needs, Cat has reevaluted the women she has been-and the person she needs to be. Where she had embraced ambition, she opts for compassion; where she fought for fame, she begins to value love. In her new role she fights to gain respect as a newscaster and meets Alex Pierce, an ex-cop turned crime writer who regards her as a woman, not a heart patient. When danger strikes, he may-or may not-be her most important ally.
Cat doesn't yet suspect her new world will lead her into a dark maze of love, betrayal, and fear. Or that the people around her are not what they seem. Even more frightening are the fatal "accidents" befalling the other patients who received donor hearts-and the mysterious stalker who now haunts her every move. From the high drama of it's opening to its lst explosive page, CHARADE is a powerhouse of authentic emotions and edge-of-the-seat suspense. Sandra Brown transformed some of today's hottest issues into a masterful novel that will leave you breathless and perhaps, like Cat, with a slightly different view of life.
