After a stalker’s attack, rock star Goldy Crossland flees L.A. for her secluded lake house in Northern Washington. Retired from the music business, she hopes to avoid both the press and her psychotic fan. But obscurity leaves her restless, and when a mysterious–and disturbingly handsome–new neighbor moves in, she can’t resist spying. Pete Bayer is undeniably attractive, but Goldy quickly … realizes there’s something strange going on in the log house across the bay. Is he a member of the paparazzi? Or a much more sinister threat? Despite her suspicions, Goldy can’t deny her fascination with him. When the press discovers her hideout, it’s Pete who offers an escape route, but it comes with a price. Unwillingly drawn into his dangerous world, Goldy soon learns the reason behind Pete’s secrecy–and her crush on her charming neighbor takes a deadly turn.
This is a new release of a previously published edition.

This was a fun read, new to me author. I thought the chemistry was great between the characters and really liked Goldy. Would definitely check out more from this author.
so much drama packed into this book. I was shocked with everything that went on. Goldy has her life full of different events that make you wonder if she will live through it all. Don’t get relaxed into this book. Just when you think your safe something else comes up. I think this book is something different then what we usually get and it was again a surprise. I am so glad I picked up this book.
OMG, I don’t even know where to start. The hardest part is no spoilers! Captivating! Intriguing! This is completely a story within a story within a story, that all ties together so neatly and entirely! Chock full of suspense, humor and just what you need when you are yearning for ‘just that read.’ Descriptives that put you in the setting, Goldy embraces you and takes you with her on her Necessary Detour! Don’t wait, get this book now. You won’t be sorry. I read a complimentary copy and am providing my honest, unsolicited review.
I just took a whirlwind ride in a book that had me guessing what was going to happen next and just WHO is to be trusted. Nikki is a famous and popular rock star staged named Goldy and she’s at the place in her career that she wants to live a normal and out of the spotlight life. But…..that’s not what happens when she decides to fade out of the limelight and return to a remote cabin she and her former bandmate/husband own. It’s the perfect place to “disappear” from the over zealous press and fans….until it isn’t.
When Nikki is safely in her secluded cabin, she notices some new neighbors living nearby. These neighbors come across as “weird” and strangely different. What is it about them? What is their story? Why is she so drawn to them….especially the hunky husband, Pete?
This book has so many twists and turns that it kept me turning the pages. Who is after Goldy? Why? What is the story of the neighbors? I thought Ms. Hornsby paced this book very well. It wasn’t rushed for the most part. The drama and suspense had me trying to figure out who was to be trusted and who was Shakespeare….the threatening stalker in Goldy’s life. I would think I had the stalker figured out and then the story would take a different twist. It is a good mystery with lots of suspense, romance, loyalty and disloyalty. The characters are relatable and believable.
This is a book that kept me reading to find out if Goldy/Nikki finds her peace, contentment and happiness.
Thank you, Ms. Hornsby, for the opportunity to read your book!
