Attorney Sarah Rand wen to Ireland for two weeks. Her best friend, Tori, was house-sitting for her. When Sarah returned to Rhode Island, she was pulled over by the police. They tried to kill her, but Sarah escaped and was picked up by Owen Dean. Sarah had no idea that everyone thought her dead for weeks now! Her boss, Judge Arnold, was arrested for the crime! Sarah could not go to the police, since they had apparently tried to kill her. She first needed to find out why and who wanted her dead so she could come forward with answers to release the judge from jail and not have to keep looking over her shoulder. She called the only person no one could connect her with, Owen Dean. Even though Owen thought Sarah was crazy at first, he agreed to help her for one day. He quickly became a believer! Soon her had several personal reasons to keep helping her. And bodies were piling up as the killers kept attempting to finish their job! ***** I have no doubt that this one will hit the best seller list! Eery page is filled with non-stop action and suspense. I was able to figure parts of it out, but most were surprises to me. I love books that keep me guessing! It seemed to me, as I read along, that Jan Coffey was born to write Mystery Thrillers! Mary Higgins Clark fans need to take a good long look at this rising author! *****Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Couldn't put it down

This story reminded me of earlier Linda Howard or Karen Robards. The characters were complex without being melodramtic, the story had a few twists and turns and it was well written in terms of the narative. Can't wait for her next one.

A Great Romantic Suspense Novel

I absolutely love this book. I'm not a fan of romance suspense. But this change my mind. Even the different plots twist and turn was exciting not convulted and confusing. I haven't enjoyed a novel this well since Jasmine Cresswell. I can't wait until the next book. Thank you husband-wife team.

Exciing romantic suspense

It was a long flight home from Ireland, but tired attorney Sarah Rand looks forward to relaxing in her Newport, Rhode Island home. However, on the drive, a police car stops her and the officers try to kill her. She manages to escape and ultimately Owen Dean, an actor and producer who accepts a teaching job at the local college for reasons of his own, finds Sara on the road and drives her to Newport. In Newport, Sarah learns that everyone who knows her except the killers think she is dead. She realizes that her friend Tori who was house siting for her is actually the victim. She does not trust the police who loathe her for her vocal criticism of their corruption and soon learns not to depend on prominent citizens because they want her dead too, though Sarah has no idea why. Sarah's only hope to survive is Judge Arnold, who happens to be accused of her murder. In desperation,she turns to Owen Dean, as her last chance for survival. TRUST ME ONCE is an exciting romantic suspense drama that starts at supersonic speed and goes even faster with enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. The story line is action-packed and never lets the reader go, though the audience must accept at face value why Owen willingly places himself in danger for a stranger who rejects police assistance. Still, the audience will root for the couple to win over overwhelming odds in a David and Davidette teaming vs. Goliath confrontation. Sub-genre readers and fans of May McGoldrick, the pseudonym of Jan Coffey, will relish this strong story and trust the authors for more like this one.Harriet Klausner
