My First Love,My Last
I've taken Bobby. The threatening note plunged Nora Maddox into a living nightmare. Why had her unstable ex-husband kidnapped her son and disappeared into the treacherous Oregon wilderness? Could he be apprehended before Bobby got hurt?
Rafe Sloan vowed to help her find her boy. Tough, capable and perilously attractive, he had been Nora's first--and only--real love. A lifetime ago, they'd pledged their devotion, but . . . something had happened, and she'd married another. Now, alone with Rafe in the deep woods, Nora trembled. Rafe's motives were unclear; his silence brimmed with burning questions; his heated gaze probed for answers. But would he still look at her with desire once he discovered the startling truth in young Bobby's eyes?

Attic stash - wasn't bad. Secret baby + secret government job + kidnapping. I didn't dislike the characters and the secret baby was justifiably (maybe for the 80's) explained. I just came out of it with a thought - when the woman with the secret baby marries another man so as not to be the single mother in the small town, disappoint the parents, or any other reason used in this trope does anyone ever consider the poor sod who marries her knowing it's not his baby, who tries to make a life with her and for whom that bad decision ultimately will not end well.
In this book I was torn between feeling badly for the heroine's ex-husband - the man who had actually raised her son and through a myriad of circumstances became slightly unbalanced and then realising he was no longer able to offer the boy a normal family life. While I recognise that it was his choice to marry Nora knowing that the child wasn't his and dropping out of college in order to support his family, by the end while the hero and heroine get their HEA with their son the ex husband is left completely alone. He was almost a placeholder for the hero and now that the hero is here you can go.
