Hideaway

Hollywood elite and a family ranch in Big Sur region provide the backdrop for Nora Roberts' poignant new suspense book, Hideaway.

Even though Caitlyn Sullivan, the daughter of Hollywood aristocracy, was already a star at the age of ten, she still enjoyed playing hide-and-seek in the Big Sur home of her relatives. She vanished in the middle of one of those games.

Despite coming from a wealthy family, Cate was a cunning and resourceful survivor who was able to get away from her kidnappers. When Dillon Cooper and his family learned about the girl's ordeal, they offered her safety and consolation, bringing her and her loved ones back together. Dillon was taken aback to discover the battered and scared girl curled up in the kitchen of his ranch house.

But Cate's ordeal was far from ended. The first was learning of a betrayal that would land a trusted person in jail. After that, she spent years in Ireland, where she was safe and secure but her soul was becoming restless. She eventually made it back to Los Angeles in the hopes of picking up acting once more and moving past the trauma that had destroyed her life. She was unaware at the time that two seeds had been sown that night so long ago: one for a great love and the other for a horrible vengeance.
