A fearless reporter trapped in a volatile siege, two young lovers turned fugitive and a holdup that transforms a small desert town into a powder keg. Now, #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown demonstrates her unparalleled powers of invention to once again tell a story that combines deep emotion with edge-of-the-seat suspense.

TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving down Interstate 20 on her way to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation. But her itinerary is rewritten when she hears on the radio that the teenage daughter of well-known Fort Worth multimillionaire Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. At least that's the official story. In truth, Sabra Dendy is pregnant and has run away with her boyfriend, Ronnie Davison. After calling her editor, Tiel abandons her holiday plans in favor of pursuing the story.

Then, in a town called Rojo Flats, on an inocuous visit to a convenience store, Tiel will come up close and personal with the barrel of a gun, the desperate young lovers . . . and the scoop of a lifetime.

In th electrifying standoff that follows, she will meet and grow to trust a strangely familiar local rancher with healing hands whom fate has also sent to the scene of the crime. She will learn why the two young runaways fear the wealthy father of one of them even more than the FBI and why, casting off a reporter's impartiality, she must defend them against a world bent of their destruction.

Poignant, riveting and offering a new twist or turn at every page, STANDOFF is suspense at its best, as only Sandra Brown can create it.
