This is an unusual story of a prison guard, Gabrielle, following an escaped convict into the desert. Staying alive becomes their common goal & an unexpected relationship develops. I put off reading this for a long time but enjoyed it when I finally decided to see what it was all about.

Randall Tucker is a prisoner at Florence, convicted of murdering his wife. He has one goal; to survive until he can prove his innocence and reclaim his eight-year-old-boy. Holds you right to the last page. I really enjoyed this book.

A really interesting story of a man falsely accused of murder and a female prison guard. From trying to survive inside the prison to trying to survive in the hot Arizona desert, these two have to depend on one another and try to clear his name.
This was Brenda Novak's second full-length novel and I was gripped from the start.
