Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb. The two parts that are the story of ’Remember When’ bring together the inimitable style of Nora Roberts and introduce her alter ego, JD Robb. The JD Robb novels are police procedurals all featuring the same character, police lieutenant Eve Dallas of New York Police Department and her billionaire husband, Roarke, who has a slightly shady past. They are set fifty years in the future. Laine Tavish is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life in the small town of Angel’s Gap, Maryland, as the proprietor of Remember When, an antique treasures and gift shop. At least, that’s what everyone in Angel’s Gap thinks. They have no idea that she used to be Elaine O’Hara, daughter of the notorious conman Big Jack O’Hara. Or that she grew up moving from place to place, one step ahead of the law . . . Laine’s past has just caught up with her though - in a very dramatic way. Her long-lost uncle suddenly turned up in her shop, leaving only a cryptic warning before dying in the street, run down by a car. Soon afterward, her home is ransacked. Now it’s up to Laine, and a sexy stranger named Max Gannon, to find out who’s chasing her, and why. The answer lies in a hidden fortune - a fortune that will change not only Laine’s life but also the lives of future generations. And danger and death will surround that fortune for years to come. Until New York City detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets on the case. A thrill-ride of a novel that blends present-day romance and futuristic suspense, ’Remember When’ is a tale of deceit and secrets, of strong women and fascinating men - a brilliant combination of the incomparable talents of the two sides of Nora Roberts.
