When Night Falls

From flap: Mitchell Warren returns home to Oklahoma after years away, and he is no longer the reckless bad boy Uma Thornton remembers. Even though she's happy with her life, enjoying the success of her syndicated column, "The Smooth Moves List," she can't help wondering if the wild times she and Mitch shared are all behind them "Uma Thornton has always kept the secrets of Madrid, Oklahoma, safe, and until Mitchell Warren's return she's been able to create a peaceful home for herself in this small town where nothing -- it seems -- ever happens. But all that is about to change. When Uma's safety is shattered by a shadowy murderer who prowls the quiet streets and gardens of this town, she fears Mitchell knows more than he lets on. Mitchell, a man tormented by his past, claims he wants to protect Uma, but she is not sure she can trust him -- despite her growing attraction to him. Then the series of mysterious deaths escalates, and suspicions turn in his direction. Can Uma trust Mitchell with her life -- and her love -- or is he as dangerous as he seems?"--Publisher description
