TO SAVE HER CHILD

Arriving home with the baby she's adopting, Caroline Harrison finds her house vandalized...and an intruder intent on shooting her. She's saved when police sirens approach, but all signs point to the little boy as the true target--and the assailant won't give up.

Now she has to rely on Detective Jason Drake, the man who once broke her heart, to figure out why someone's after her soon-to-be adoptive son.
Reunited after thirteen years apart, Jason can't help but hope their love might be rekindled, but Caroline and her son's safety come first.

Because if he wants a chance at a future--and a family--with them, they have to outrun a hit man.

Intense action, intriguing suspense, great character development, sweet and gentle second chance love story, an adorable baby - this story has it all, and does it well!
The characters are multiple and likable, from protagonists to the supporting cast and crew, they have all distinctive characteristics, they are unique, with their strengths and weaknesses, and they all have something about them that made me have a connection with them, understand where they were coming from, and like them all the same. Most of them had personally found salvation in the Lord, and had faith in God, in His guidance in their lives, this was clear to see as they proudly proclaimed it.
Caroline Harrison and Jason Drake obviously have a connection. The once wrecked childhood friendship gave them a foundation start building something new, something solid, mature, and lasting. They could not have hidden the feelings they have for each other even if they tried. The past mistakes and hurt were handled without too much angst and drama, there was enough tension, trouble, and danger from the threats and murder attempts against Caroline and her son.
The story has an enthralling, compelling tone and tempo, it pulled me right into the story, and held me captive till the end. It has heart-stopping moments of pure fear and devastation, at one point I even questioned if there could be a happy ending and if everyone could make it alive through the disastrous attacks with a murderous intent.
A breathtaking, thrilling, and impressive tale on many levels, that will deliver a sincere message of forgiveness, while keeping you entertained with the action and romance
