Internet mogul William (Liam) Armstrong is frantic to find his seventeen-year-old daughter Emily missing. While he was away on a business trip, Emily was snatched from their home. Liam has reported the disappearance to the Dallas Police Department, but he is not expecting much help from them, years ago he was implicated in the disappearance of a state senator's daughter but never charged with anything. Dallas PD believed he got away with murder, and they continue to use every opportunity to harass him and given the circumstances there is no way the police is likely to go all out in investigating Emily's disappearance.

Maybe the department is not interested, but Detective Jessica Clark is. Jessica is familiar with the rumors that surround Liam Armstrong, but the look in his eyes and his demeanor when he discusses his daughter is a clear indication that whatever else he may have done, he truly loves her. Ignoring the support she's not receiving from her partner, Jessica works tirelessly to find Emily, putting her own life at risk in the process. Her efforts allow her to draw closer to Liam and she succeeds in infiltrating his hard exterior, the ultimate no-no in her profession. Jessica and Liam become emotionally and sexually involved, jeopardizing her career and his chances of getting his daughter back alive.

WHEN NIGHT FALLS is romance and suspense at its best.  The mystery surrounding Emily's disappearance is intricately plotted, and the romance between Jessica and Liam burns the pages. Author Jenna Mills has a flair for creating strong female heroines that handle role reversal very well. What's even more refreshing is that the heroes accept their fate with enthusiasm and a great deal of maturity. WHEN NIGHT FALLS is a summer read not to be missed!
