A MUST READ!!!

Thomas Wilde was "merely" trying to rid his conscience of the guilt he bore after his tour in Iraq. He became infatuated with a woman he had seen around in the building his office was in. Thomas is a successful MD in practice with a longtime friend.

One day, Thomas gathers up the courage to meet Lady X. He gives her his phone number. He has to prod a little to find out that her name is Lana Fauves. They go out on a date two days later; to an art exhibit hosted by Lana's friends. A bit awkward, yet Thomas does fine.
He is so taken by this woman that he loans her $5000 and tells her he loves her the following day he sees her.

Recently divorced, Thomas is already thinking about a future with Lana. Not long after that first date, Thomas begins to "stalk" Lana's apartment and almost always finds a man in a black van (wearing a baseball cap) there. This man tells Thomas to leave Lana alone - that she owes him (his boss) $20,000. - of course, eventually Thomas gives $20,000 to this guy!!! Who says that love isn't blind???

Lana is not at her apartment for a few days and Thomas wonders if her (and maybe her friends) are scam artists. That is a lot of money.

As Lana returns to Los Angeles (from Belize) she spends some time with Thomas and his love for her wins out his suspicions. Thomas finds out surface information about her "friend" Lloyd and about her former lover, Cristian, who disappeared a while ago.
There is a back and forth relationship between Lana and Thomas that spans a couple of years. Thomas is still susceptible to Lana's charms. (Lana's lies, half-truths and disappearing acts may begin to infuriate the reader by now).

When Lana passes out she is brought to the ER - she has the hospital contact Thomas, as he is a doctor. He drops everything and rushes to be there (although there is no need). He stays the night with Lana at her new, run-down studio apartment. They become platonic good friends. He cooks for her, spends time with her (still wanting her) but this is enough. Lana is having a preventative mastectomy procedure and Thomas is doing everything to see her through. The days leading up to the surgery are filled with more truths that Lana had been holding back telling to Thomas.

On the night prior to surgery, Lana can't sleep. Thomas is there with her. She wants to get some fresh air. Thomas reminds Lana that it is the middle of the night and they go for a walk anyway....

And this is where the excitement begins...

This book is an easy read - interesting and exciting. I read it in one day and highly recommend it to readers of multiple genres. Characters are well thought out and they really deliver. Awesome climax and conclusion!!!
Many thanks to Lucengeist Literary Press and NetGalley for a really great read!
