BLOG TOUR w/ GIVEAWAY: a familiar fear by Kathi Oram Peterson


ABOUT THE BOOK

Ex-FBI agent Riley Scott lives each day with the scars of her former career. After the murder of her husband and the recent attempt on her own life by the Russian mafia, her heart is irrevocably broken. Agate Island seems like the perfect place to begin building a new future for herself and her teenage son, yet even before the ferry docks at their new home, Riley realizes there will be no escape for her. There, on the boat, is mafia boss Maksimillian Petruso—the man who took everything from her. The man she killed.

Matthew Taggart knows who Riley is and understands her reaction to his resemblance to Maksimillian Petruso. But Matthew is nothing like his estranged criminal father. So far, he has been able to hide from that evil world. However, he's afraid Riley's appearance on the island may lead his family's mafia connections to his doorstep. After all, she is the agent who took down his father. Matthew needs to leave town. Fast. Unfortunately, when the family wants to find him, there is nowhere he can hide. Now he and Riley are thrown together in a dangerous connection, and learning to trust each other is their only hope of survival.

REVIEW

This romantic suspense has a rather unusual twist to it.  When Riley Scott, former FBI agent, arrives on Agate Island looking to build a new future for herself and her son, the last person she expects to see is Maksimilian Petruso, the Russian mobster that murdered her husband and nearly took her own life.  Especially since she already killed him.  Turns out Matthew Taggart is Petruso's son and has been hiding from the rest of the family for years.  Unfortunately, being so close to each other doesn't work out well for either one.  Only by working together can they find a way to defeat the crime family and save themselves and their children.  This suspenseful novel is full of twists and turns, not all of which are unexpected.  Still, the book contains plenty of tension both life-threatening and romantic.
