Love Lies Beneath

Tara Cannon, 40, has been married three times: widowed once, divorced twice. Living on the wealth accrued from her failed marriages, she maintains a beautiful mansion in San Francisco, holds various fundraisers, and isn't shy when it comes to inviting men into her bed. A skiing accident on a trip to Lake Tahoe results in extensive knee surgery and rehab, causing her to lose both her physical and emotional independence. Enter orthopedic surgeon Cavin Lattimore. While Tara's contentedly single, she is drawn to the handsome doctor, who evokes new emotions in her. Just when she thinks she has reached her happily ever after, things start to go awry. She notices a mysterious van parked outside her house and begins receiving threatening emails and text messages. Battling her troubled past and her bright future, Tara must solve the mysteries that haunt her. Hopkins is at her best in this outstanding novel (after Triangles and Collateral) written in gorgeous prose and interspersed with her signature free verse between chapters. She leaves no stone unturned and keeps the reader guessing until the very last page.
