TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving down Interstate 20 on her way to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation. But her itinerary is rewritten when she hears on the radio that the teenage daughter of well-known Fort Worth multimillionaire Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. At least that's the official report. In truth Sabra Dendy is pregnant and has run away with her boyfriend, Ronnie Davison. After calling her editor, Tiel abandons her holiday plans in favor of pursuing the story.

Then, in a town called Rojo Flats, during an innocuous visit to a convenience store, Tiel will come up close and personal with the barrel of a gun, the desperate young lovers-and the scoop of a lifetime.

In the electrifying standoff that follows, she will meet and grow to trust a strangely familiar local rancher whom fate has also sent to the scene of the crime. She will learn why the two young runaways fear the wealthy father of one of them even more than the FBI...and why, casting off a reporter's impartiality, she must defend them against a world bent on their destruction

this book is accompanying some fun stuff to my BX pal Anderal up in Canada...

Okay BBL,

Where do I start. Ok here we go. The book looks great and you included some of my fav bookmarks (Believe it or not I'm still using the first one you sent). In addition to that, the Canadian Baseball Fan beaded bookmark is truly amazing (and, Yes, I am going out on the weekend to buy some beads so I can prepare for the next gift giving occasion :D). To top it all off, you sent me Calendars (one of my fav things) of my fav ball tem (GO ANGELS!). Does it get better than this. I think not. You truly are an amazing BookCrossser. Thanks SO much.

Now, I have to start a new book tonight. Will it be Standoff (this one) or The Five People You Meet In Heaven (recently acquired from ThanksMom)? You choose! :D
