Summer Of Fear

Description for SUMMER OF FEAR by Carolyn Haines:

A dream job training horses on an Alabama farm brings West Coast riding instructor Connor Tremaine back east to her own unresolved past.  But somebody doesn't want Connor to take her place in the troubled Sumner household...and in seductive Clay Sumner's bed.

Yet nothing can keep Connor from falling irreversibly in love with the charismatic politician--and marrying him.  Not the shocking stories about his first wife's brutal death.  Not the malicious threats of Clay's two children or the near-fatal attack on Connor's life.  Not even her own growing feat that her husband's winning charm may mask a murderous nature.

Now, as the edges of reality begin to blur, Connor is stalked by a deranged killer who preys on her darkest fears and deepest desires...and whose violent reign of terror will end only when Connor's life does.
