High Noon by Nora Roberts (2007)

It was a hard week, so I deserved a little guilty pleasure. I sat and just read one more of Roberts' thriller romances. This one has the heroine Pheobe be a hostage negotiator for the police. Interesting work - I never knew how they talk people down. Seems like they often don't get very far. Duncan is rich - won a major lottery ticket, but does good things with his money. Duncan has been adopted by a black family. More interesting characters like her mother, who is agoraphobic and won't leave the house. I also like the fact that Pheobe is divorced and has a daughter. Much more realistic of today's situations. Now if Roberts would only do more middle age romance.
