Andrew and Elizabeth Oliver are settling nicely into married life. While Beth is taking classes at Quantico, Drew's working from Washington -- usually in conjunction with their friend, Jack Lloyd.
Then the day after she's achieved her scuba certification, Fitz calls with exciting news -- Sir Anthony has an assignment for Beth in London. Even though things don't go as planned, Elizabeth does a stellar job.
However, she and Andrew, along with the rest of the family are in for some surprises. Triumph and joy give way to tragedy and illness. And then to false accusations, panic, and flight. Pushed to her emotional limits, Beth bolts.
Her family wants her back. Someone else wants her dead.
What a pleasure to sit down with the characters I have watched evolve since book 1. Jordan Bollinger weaves a great story, of love and the path to strength for her heroine, who becomes that whole person in this book. Bethy is now a woman of power, and she comes by it through tragedy overcome. A very good read.
