Dr. Ellie Sullivan is just finishing a surgery fellowship and is still trying to decide her future. A jog to clear her head may suddenly change her life. She witnesses a shooting and ends up saving the victim, a FBI agent. Another FBI agent, Max Daniels, may have to save Ellie because the criminals involved in the shooting have a nasty way of making witnesses disappear.

Max decides to go with Ellie on a trip to her hometown for her sister’s wedding. Ellie is uneasy, even at home ,since she has to deal with the possibility that a stalker, who almost killed her when she was young, is loose and could be anywhere. Max and Ellie feel sparks fly, but can they ever have a life together?

Author Julie Garwood has crafted a taut thriller that is balanced with the humor of a bridezilla and sizzling romance. The heroine is competent, yet vulnerable. Max is a strong hero who has risen above a difficult early life.

THE IDEAL MAN is an ideal novel for readers who enjoy a story with emotional depth and page-turner suspense. Ms. Garwood’s fans will love this latest addition to her body of work.
