Dead Heat

A Romantic Mystery Adventure Novel

By: Amy Elizabeth

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After leaving his one-horse hometown in the dust, Aussie Colin Carlyle is enjoying the good life in a beautiful seaside resort in southern Thailand. His carefree world turns upside down, though, when a comatose woman washes up on his boat. With her health in jeopardy and her memory wiped blank, the girl he knows only as Kate reluctantly accepts his help. Cautious at first, Kate gradually lowers her guard while she convalesces in Colin's care. But as they attempt to unravel the mystery of her past, Colin finds himself fighting two different battles - his growing attraction to Kate, and the unshakable feeling that he's seen her face before...Meanwhile, in the sultry metropolis of Miami, Florida, Thoroughbred trainer Evan Williams is taking the world of horse racing by storm. To the public eye, he has it all - charisma, wealth, and a skyrocketing career. Only his best friend, news journalist Melanie Bishop, understands the man behind the fanfare. Like Evan, she too is well-acquainted with the sting of heartbreak. She's tasted the bitterness of a failed romance and has no intention of trusting a man again. So it's clear that her plan has gone terribly wrong the morning she wakes up beside Evan...Separated by a distance of ten-thousand miles, these two stories appear to have nothing in common. But when their paths cross in a most unusual way, it sets in motion a chain of events that will challenge everything they thought they knew about themselves. Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as "a refreshingly mature love story," Dead Heat explores the true meaning of loyalty, love, and sacrifice.
