Description

"Barbara Freethy’s Romantic Suspense books are explosively good!" –New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

From #1 NY Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy comes the first book in a new  romantic suspense trilogy: Lightning Strikes. In these connected novels, lightning leads to love, danger, and the unraveling of long buried secrets that will change not only the past but also the future…

When her father's plane mysteriously disappeared in the middle of an electrical storm, Alicia Monroe became obsessed with lightning. Now a news photographer in Miami, Alicia covers local stories by day and chases storms at night. In a flash of lightning, she sees what appears to be a murder, but when she gets to the scene, there is no body, only a military tag belonging to Liliana Valdez, a woman who has been missing for several months.  

While the police use the tag to jumpstart their stalled investigation, Alicia sets off on her own to find the missing woman. Her search takes her into the heart of Miami's Cuban-American community where she meets the attractive but brooding Michael Cordero, who has his own demons to vanquish.

Soon Alicia and Michael are not just trying to save Liliana's life but also their own, as someone will do anything to protect a dark secret…

    I thought I only liked books with a great amount of romance. Barbara Freethy’s books are so well written that I find her to be a very enjoyable author to read. Her characters are believable and well developed. The romance is plenty enough and fun to follow. It kept my interest. It entertained me from the beginning to the end. A talented writer I think.
