Beth is on the run and on the edge. She and her children have been desperately trying to stay one step ahead of her dangerous and abusive husband, and every time she turns around, life throws another challenge her way. The last thing she needs is a former police officer with way too much curiosity, good looks and charm thrown her way. Will her interactions with Jack turn out to be her downfall, or the saving grace she's been wishing for? 
 Despite a few nit-picky issues (an elderly uncle with a military background and psychic ability is rather convenient and a little over the top, the overabundance of bad guys and shady characters was a bit heavy handed and the Congressman's secret could be interpreted as a slam on homosexuality) I ultimately found this be a solid, enjoyable romantic suspense novel.
