eBook Description: Rage at her younger sister's brutal murder has nearly consumed Ellen Morgan. So when her work as a psychologist wins her an appearance on the evening news, Ellen seizes the moment. Staring straight into the camera, she challenges the killer to come out of hiding: "Why don't you come after me? I'll be waiting for you." Phone calls flood the station, but all leads go nowhere. The police investigation seems doomed to failure. Then it happens: a note, written in red ink, slipped under the windshield wipers of her car. 'YOU'RE IT.' Ellen has stirred the monster in his lair ... and the hunter has become the hunted.

"Alexis Maguire works as a waitress and has managed to escape her existence as a thief. Her youth is still haunting her, however, and has been a driving force in her drifting tendencies. Now she finds herself responsible for protecting an innocent little girl who is seemingly caught in the crossfire of the Trust, the powerful and sinister group from Alex's past. Detective Dan Greywolf agreed to look after the safety of Alex and this child for his ex-partner. As a cop, he is sworn to help. But as a man drawn to Alex from the moment they met, he can't resist the need to protect her. He has always believed in the law and trusted his instincts, but this may be the first time that he'll have to choose between the two. Is this all crime-related, or is it some sort of conspiracy? Will Wolf get Alex to trust him with some of the missing puzzle pieces? What about with her guarded heart? Nowhere to Hide is loaded with action that detonates from the first page. I thought Ms. Elbaum did a spectacular job of adding little details throughout scenes, crystallizing settings that extra little bit and making it extremely easy to slip further into the adventure. If that's not enough, these pages are filled with unabated sexual tension arcing between Alex and Wolf that was thrilling to watch explode. They're an irresistible couple, really--individually, too, but especially together. Plus, this story contains a variety of supporting characters that are absorbing in their mysteriousness. Nowhere to Hide is a fabulous start to Ms. Elbaum's 'Justice for All' series, which is expected to consist of six titles. Readers may be a little impatient with some loose ends that await closure, but I very much look forward to continuing this saga."--Jen H., Fallen Angel Reviews
"If you are looking for the suspense thriller of the year-look no further--you will find it in Nowhere To Hide..."--Jewel Dartt, Midnight Scribe Reviews
It was nice to be alone. As she brushed her hair, Gail launched into her favorite fantasy--buying her sister a white Ferrari. Ellens birthday was coming up in May; she'd have the car delivered right up to her door, a big red bow tied on the antenna... dream on, girl, she told herself, grinning at her reflection in the mirror.
Tiger padded into the room just then, winding his sleek, warm body around her bare ankles, purring like an old washing machine. I owe her so much, Tiger, Gail said, reaching down to stroke the cat's soft, glossy fur. If it wasn't for... Suddenly, Tigers back arched under her hand and he hissed. Gail's heart leapt in her breast and her hand drew back as if burned. "What the...?" But Tiger, fur standing on end, had already fled the room. Gail turned in her chair just in time to see his electrified, retreating tail... Then she caught a movement from the corner of her eye. Turning, she froze at the sight of the closet door slowly opening.
