Charade - by Sandra Brown (Paperback)

About the Book

Shortly after undergoing a heart transplant, soap opera star Cat Delaney discovers that her life is threatened once again--only this time, the killer is all-too-human. Someone is systematically murdering every person who received a heart on the same day Cat did. Mystery writer Alex Pierce offers his help. But as their love deepens, so does the danger.

Book Synopsis

A TV star with a new lease on life must team up with an ex-cop to investigate a series of murders and dark secrets while danger lurks just outside her door in this thriller from award-winning author Sandra Brown.
A medical miracle gives TV personality Cat Delaney more than a new heart. With her second chance at life Cat trades Hollywood for San Antonio, where she hosts a TV show for children with special needs and meets Alex Pierce, an ex-cop turned crime writer.
But her new world turns sinister when fatal "accidents" begin killing other heart transplant recipients, and a mysterious stalker starts shadowing her every move. Soon Cat realizes Alex may or may not be her most important ally - and that her new heart comes at a terrible price: a tangled web of secrets and someone determined to take her life.

From the Back Cover

A medical miracle gave TV personality Cat Delaney more than a new heart. It gave her a second chance at life. After leaving Hollywood to host a San Antonio TV show spotlighting children with special needs, Cat fights to gain respect as a newscaster. She meets Alex Pierce, an ex-cop turned crime writer, who regards her as a woman, not as a heart patient. When fatal "accidents" begin killing the other heart recipients, Alex may -- or may not -- be her most important ally.

With her new world turning sinister and a mysterious stalker shadowing her every move, Cat is caught in a dark maze of betrayal and secrets...and perhaps sees too late the mask hiding a killer's face.
