Upon rescuing her former patient (Zach Andros), who she found wounded and semiconscious on the side of the road, Nurse Abby Chance soon finds herself romantically involved with this rich, handsome stranger. Yet his unsettled past won't allow them to pursue a relationship at once. For starters, his ex-wife (Eleni Mavrakis) has mysteriously vanished, and Zach is the number one suspect. Not only that, but he's thought to have killed her. Although his memory of their last meeting is muddled (he had been drugged and then hit over the head), Zach knows he's innocent, and he's determined to prove it.During their investigation, Abby falls for Zach even more (the feelings are mutual), though her attraction to him had begun long before this mishap. (She had tended to him at the beginning of "In Her Lover's Eyes" when he had arrived at the hospital she worked at. This beginning part was a little rough, though, namely with the 10-day time lapse at the hospital.) Yet their romance is put on hold again because someone doesn't want them interfering in Eleni's disappearance, hence the harassing phone calls in the middle of the night, the fire set in Zach's garage, and the reckless tailgater who tries to run them off the road. By the end of "In Her Lover's Eyes", Abby and Zach both needed helmets after receiving so many blows to the head. I got a headache just from thinking about it.In summary: I thought this was a somewhat predictable mystery (most readers will be able to guess the truth behind Eleni's disappearance before the end), but for those who like a bit of romantic thrills set in beautiful British Columbia, then "In Her Lover's Eyes" is worth a go.

In Her Lover's Eyes is a wonderful story revolving a man whose lack of memory leads him to doubt his own sanity and the woman who loves him determined to prove him worthy of freedom and of her love. I definitely recommend it.
