About Charade

The story of a woman whose new lease on life morphs into a terrifying nightmare. . . A medical miracle gives TV personality Cat Delaney more than a new heart. Che changes her career, trading Hollywood for San Antonio, where she hosts a TV show for children with special needs. Here she meets Alex Pierce, an ex-cop turned crime writer-- and the first man since her surgery to see her not only as a survivor but as a woman. But her new world turns sinister when fatal "accidents" begin killing other heart recipients, and a mysterious stalker starts shadowing her every move. Soon Cat realizes Alex may be her most important ally and that her new heart comes at a terrible price: a tangled web of secrets and someone determined to take her life.
