About this ebook

ROMANTIC SUSPENSE • SINGLE MOM HEROINE • MILITARY HERO

An Emotional Romance About Unexpected Connections, Dangerous Secrets, and Building Forever

One match changed their lives. One mystery could tear it all apart.

Rylie Hart never imagined she’d become a mother overnight, but when her best friend passes away, she steps in to raise five-year-old Mickey as her own. Just as they’re finding their rhythm, tragedy strikes again—Mickey is diagnosed with leukemia, and her only chance at survival is an anonymous donor.

Blackhawk Security CEO Chase Dixon never expected that donating bone marrow would change his life forever. Fast forward a year, he meets the little girl he saved, and she captures his heart instantly—but it's her fierce, protective mother who brings him to his knees.

Just when Rylie starts to believe in happy endings, Mickey’s adoption is contested—and a devastating secret comes to light. Now Rylie’s fighting not just for her daughter, but for the man who’s become her anchor in the storm. Can she hold on to the life they’ve started, or will the past steal it all away?

a good read, although a little drawn out. not as good as her other series, hence the 3 star rating. in hindsight, would I buy this series? No, i wouldn't.

This book is amazing. It was such an enjoyable read. I keep telling myself I’m going to read Ms Cole’s next book slow and make it last but inevitably I end up putting an all nighter and finish it in one sitting. She has a way of telling a story that keeps you spellbound. You keep reading one more chapter until your at the end of the book. Chase Dixon is the owner of Blackhawk Security and has immersed himself in his business. He has agreed to meet 7 year old Mackenzie, aka Mickey, recipient of his bone marrow. Rylie Hart is Mickey’s adoptive mother taking her after her best friend died. Chase is totally taken by both daughter and mother. After catching a lowlife PI snapping pictures of them while out getting ice cream Chase puts body guards on the two. It turns out Mickey’s paternal grandparents, a retired senator and super rich, since their son died a few months ago. This book has a sleazy politician, equally sleazy judge and attorneys, Meat, Tuff, our lovable and sarcastic Ian, a cute little girl and 2 people who have put their love life on hold until now.
