News anchor Evan McKenna knows a good thing when he sees it. And Kelly Sullivan and her son Matt definitely fall into that category. If Evan had his way, he'd be part of their little family. Only Kelly is proving resistant to his charms. He knows an attraction this strong is more than one-sided, so something else is keeping them apart. Despite his best efforts, he can't convince her to tell him.
Then Kelly's past becomes a major news story, which puts Matt's safety in jeopardy. Evan is willing to do anything to protect them. For the first time, his career takes a backseat to something more important: family and a future with Kelly. Now he just has to prove it to her.
This book was written by someone I met in the Romance Writers group. This is a Harlequin romance. I don't think the book is badly written, it just isn't the kind of book that appeals to me. I've always been irritated by the approach and pull back associated with romance stories. The female character in this book does it a million times.

"Pickering offers a realistic look at the emotional baggage rape can cause - and the strength of will it takes to overcome those challenges. Both Kelly's emotional insecurity and Evan's desire to bring her abuser to justice seem very authentic." RT Book Reviews, rated 4 stars
This was a pretty good read, but I found the aspects of the main characters' careers to be unrealistic. The heroine also pushed the hero away a bit much, but all was resolved.
