Synopsis

This program includes an author's note read by Stacey Abrams.

From popular former gubernatorial candidate, lawyer, and New York Times bestselling author Stacey Abrams comes an audiobook reissue of her romantic suspense novel, Never Tell, written under the name Selena Montgomery.

Criminal psychologist Dr. Erin Abbott wants nothing more than to live a quiet life. That means no danger, no intrigue-and absolutely no romance. But when Erin suspects a serial killer is roaming New Orleans, her investigation throws her straight into the arms of the only man who can help her.

Journalist Gabriel Moss is hot to find his next huge story-and he knows Erin is on to something big. From the moment they meet, Gabriel senses that Erin is hiding something. One thing is certain: Erin's boxy suits and sensible shoes hide a delicate beauty waiting to emerge...and Gabriel is just the man to reveal the woman inside.

As they join forces to find the killer, Gabriel slowly seduces Erin with his soft kisses. But Erin knows their love can never be. For she is hiding a terrible secret--and if Gabriel reveals the truth, Erin's life will be shattered forever...

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin

I knew this was an older romance but I didn't realize it was from 2004. And it definitely reads like 2004 and not just because it's set in that time period. Some of the stuff in this story flew in 2004 when we knew less but just does not work in 2022. For one this had a lot of graphic violence which......more

Goodreads review by Mara on January 06, 2022

I think it is definitely important that people are aware that this book was not only set in the early 00s, but written in the early 00s.
