Dust Devil — Rebecca Brandewyne

Years ago, their friendship had been private -- known only to themselves. Intense, passionate, dangerously good-looking Renzo Cassavettes wouldn't have fit in Sarah Kincaid's world. But one sultry summer afternoon, while the honeysuckle bloomed, Sarah had allowed the illegitimate boy from the wrong side of the tracks to make love to her, never dreaming that within hours Renzo would be accused of murder, fleeing from their hometown, leaving her pregnant with his child.
Now, like a dust devil blowing into the outwardly quiet town, Renzo is back, and his arrival proves a catalyst, reviving what had started so many years before. For there is a killer on the loose...and soon Sarah is swept into a whirlwind of danger. Which way could she turn? Was the man she loved a cold-blooded murderer playing some kind of diabolical game? Or was he the only port in the seething storm of deception and desire?
