Jessica and Sam sizzle in this book as they reconnect from a troubled past. This romance is about second chances at life and love. What makes it shine are the secondary characters like Jessica's child and Jack, the mysterious Aussie who appears in her life one dark and stormy night. I so hpe the author gives Jack his own book one day!
Highly recommended for all romantic suspense readers.

This story kept me turning pages late into the night. I love the romance, but it was the intertwined mysteries that hooked me. The characters felt real, and since I know the area where the book is set, it was even more vivid for me.
