Captive Hearts #1
Father, Lover, Bodyguard
Amanda Fielding remembered nothing of the crime she was suspected of, or the blow that caused her partial amnesia. She awakened in the E.R. to gaze into the eyes of her former lover, Dr. David Haines - the man whose touch flamed her deepest desires. The man she'd left without a word... To prove her innocent and save her from a killer, David would take her captive himself. But would he still trust her when he learned she was guilty - of not telling him about their baby.....?
In twenty-four hours, their lives chance forever...

About the author
Cassie Miles
310 books65 followersCassie grew up in a small town at the very tip of southern Illinois. A tomboy, she spent most of her time outside and got into big trouble for breaking the trellis while climbing out her second-story bedroom window.
When her family moved to L.A., major culture shock ensued. She discovered that grapefruits grew on trees, television offered more than two channels, and all the other girls had breasts. While hiding out and waiting for her chest to develop, she read voraciously, raiding her mother's bookshelf for Mickey Spillane when she finished all her Nancy Drew novels.
Another move took her family to Denver, the place Cassie still calls home.
She graduated from North Central college outside Chicago, got married, and returned to Colorado where she worked in personnel at the Denver Post and lived in a mountain cabin without running water. Upon learning she was pregnant, a return to civilization seemed prudent. She settled in Denver, raised two amazing daughters, and started writing for Harlequin. After her divorce, she took a break from romance and wrote straight suspense.
During her frantic years as a single mom, writing books and working odd jobs to supplement her income, she hardly had time to breathe, much less to dream. Then something remarkable happened. She fell in love with a tall, sexy man who was an aerial photographer and the author of tough-guy mystery novels. Fortunately, he loved her back. She found her real-life hero, inherited three more grown kids and three grandchildren.
Cassie started writing romance again, loving every minute of a life filled with laughter, crazy road trips, sailboats, and journeys to Oregon with long walks on rocky beaches.
Not too long ago, the love of her life developed inoperable pancreatic cancer. With supportive friends and family standing by, he died at home.
Cassie now lives alone, surrounded by beautiful memories. She has no regrets and considers herself lucky to have found her soul mate, the man with whom she shared a perfect love.

Welcome back, Cassie Miles
July 20, 1999
Cassie Miles' introduction to the "Captive Hearts" series is a nice balance of mystery and emotion sure to add sizzle to a summer night. Taking not one, but two, overused plot staples (amnesia and a secret baby), Ms. Miles delivers a story that is still fresh and involving. David and Amanda became fully-developed, engaging characters even while being hurtled from one dangerous situation to the next, and their reunion, while not overwhelmingly romantic, is still satisfying. I can't say anything without giving it away, but I did like how the Big Confrontation at the end was handled. Best of all, every one of my doubts and questions (If Amanda knew David was going to be a doctor, how did she justify her belief that he was still irresponsible?) were answered in a satisfying way. If the other two books (His to Protect and The Safe Hostage) are as good as this one, we should be in for a treat.
