Betrayed and alone...

Young widow Rachel Santos is raising her daughters alone and trying to get past the pain of losing her cheating husband. Always attracted to the wrong sorts of men, she finds herself having to dump her cheating boyfriend, and vows never to trust her heart to another man.

Harassed and endangered...

When someone vandalizes Rachel's house, she confides in faithful Elliot Truman. Yet, despite his willingness to help, Rachel is determined to handle her problems alone. Then, someone breaks into her home, and she fears for the safety of her family. When her work is sabotaged and she loses her job and cannot pay the rent, she is at a complete loss.

A woman in need of protection and love...

Will she be able to support and protect her children?  Who can stop this demented stalker? And will she ever be convinced that some men are worth loving?

Review:

Rachel Santos has been on an emotional rollercoaster and has been very badly hurt in the past. She has two small daughters to bring up on her own and there is no way she is ever again going to get involved with a man.

To Rachel, Elliot Truman is just a work colleague but he would like to be more. He loves Rachel and her children ... will he breach her defences?

This book is so well written you can identify with Rachel. You can feel her emotions: sometimes she's happy, sometimes sad; sometimes she's frightened because there is someone out there who hates her and wants her to die. She has a loving family who would dearly love to help and protect her but she is stubborn and determined to 'go it alone'.

The writer has given us characters who are beautifully drawn and who have real-life problems and a good plot, which twists and turns keeping you guessing right up to the end.

Throughout the book there runs a strong moral thread and that is in keeping with the characters and the story.

This book was a pleasure to read and I suggest that you add it to your 'must read' list.
