Identity thief winds up stealing a heart as well.

Shannon Mulligan, hiding from an abusive and obsessed husband, has gone underground and tried to start a new life as a woman named Mary Calder. What Shannon has no way of knowing though is that Mary Calder is dead, brutally murdered, and that the late woman's husband Luke, a police officer, has his wife's accounts flagged for attempted fraud. When Shannon tries for a bank loan using Mary's name and credit history the warning flags go up and Luke sneaks in undercover to see if the woman using his wife's name knows anything about her murder. Things get complicated when these two people with something to hide feel a fierce attraction to one another.In His Wife's Name is a romantic suspense tale that emphasizes the romance over the suspense for most of the novel's storyline. Not surprising, considering this is a romance novel, but I felt the mystery lacked a certain sizzle, though it did kick into high gear in the last quarter and my hands were as good as glued to the cover until I reached the end, so the book is far from a pedestrian outing. Recommended.

In His Wife's Name

What would you do if your wife was murdered over a year and then you find out that someone was using her identity? This is what happened to Luke Calder. He is a police officer that went searching for his wife's murderer. He finds out that Shannon Mulligan, who is running away from her own history, uses his wife's identity and ends up falling in love for her. I thought that this was a little unrealistic but the romance was very well written and it was a great quick read.
