Publication Date: November 2000

High-powered attorney Victoria Kensington knows how to protect herself. In fact, she's spent her whole life protecting her vulnerable sister, Audrey, from their stern father's disapproval. But when Audrey, who's supposed to be painting in Venice, collapses at Victoria's feet in Central Park dressed only in a hospital gown, Victoria doesn't know what to think. And when Audrey disappears without a trace, Victoria will do anything to find out what has happened to her sister, even if it means allowing FBI associate Zachary Hamilton, the only man she's ever loved, back into her life--and her heart. Even if it means finding out her father knows a whole lot more than he's letting on, Victoria will let nothing stop her from saving Audrey. But when Victoria has several close calls, Zach insists on sticking close to her, really close. Will Victoria find a second chance at having the kind of family she always wanted and maybe even a second chance at love?

 Run For Your Life is an older book by this author.  I have read most of her books, so I'm not sure how I missed it. The story opens with Victoria out for a jog when her sister, Audrey shows up in Central Park in a hospital gown and collapsing at her feet.  Only to disappear when Victoria goes for help.  The biggest problem is that Audrey is supposed to be out of the country.  She decides she must allow a former lover to help her find out what happened to Audrey.

 I did ultimately enjoy this one.  I liked the second chance at romance between Victoria and Zachary.  Time and maturity helped them work out their issues. For me, the romance was the better part of the book. Being almost 24 years old, the book is a little dated, but it didn't take away form the enjoyment of the story.  The mystery was OK.  I did call a major part of the reveal early on as it was really obvious.  Despite that, the story is fast paced and kept up my interest.  I would recommend this throwback.
