Worth Dying for

By Beverly Barton

Book Overview

Sometimes love is stronger than death... Security agent Dante Moran can't afford the luxury of love--in his line of work, emotions can get you killed. Besides, he's never recovered from the pain of losing his high school sweetheart to a serial rapist and killer. As far as Dante is concerned, his heart died the day her body was discovered. But when he's hired to find Tessa Westbrook's missing daughter, Dante is shocked to feel his long-buried emotions rise to the surface. Tessa stirs something in him that he hasn't felt since he was a kid...something that makes him think she could become more than a client. But Tessa's past is full of secrets, and with a killer still on the loose, Dante must decide if she's worth dying for....

Worth Dying For

One of the best book that Beverly Barton has written. I am always waiting for her next book!

I love this book!

I love most of Beverly Barton's books and this one proves why. True love triumphing always warms your heart but these characters really deserved it.

Great Mystery & Love Story

Even though the outcome was predictable, I loved this book. It's amazing what true love and passion can accomplish. I liked the ending especially after the main characters suffered so much and for so many years. Once again, Beverly Barton has written an excellent, kick-ass novel that will keep you coming back for more!

Held my interest

Dante and Tessa were a tortured pair. I liked the interaction between the two of them and her daughter. My problem was Dante was way too obsessed after such a long time. And Tessa needed to leave home, get her own place and fend for herself. I must say this was much better than the last two in the series!

fabulous romantic suspense

In Colby, Texas, seventeen years old Amy Smith waits at night by herself for her boyfriend Dante Moran to arrive to take her home from her job at the Dairy Dip. However, Dante is held up at college and so is running late. Someone attacks Amy, but by the time Dante arrives his girlfriend is gone. No body was ever recovered. Seventeen years later, Dante leaves the FBI to take a job with the Dundee Agency, experts on personal security. When the Governor and two State senators from Mississippi ask Dundee to find a runaway, they assign Dante to lead the investigation. Dante is stunned as sixteen year old Leslie looks just like Amy did. He visits influential billionaire G.W. Westbrook and his daughter Tessa to start the inquiries into finding the seemingly happy Leslie. Dante thinks Tessa remotely looks like his Amy. Still, as Dante and Tessa fall in love, she admits that she cannot remember her first seventeen years of life. More to the point is that he must find a teen in trouble, who ran away because she learned that her father was a state-executed rapist, a truth hidden by her beloved mother and grandfather. Best selling author Beverly Barton furbishes readers with a fabulous romantic suspense starring two wonderful protagonists and a fantastic support cast. The story line follows mostly the investigative efforts of the hero, but also shines a light on runaway teens. The support cast is a strong group that hopefully will lead to Dundee sequels especially two other agents on the verge of war between them. Harriet Klausner
