Hunter Cassidy is a DEA agent who was framed by other agents on an operation that took place six years ago. Although deeply in love with Alexis Baptiste, he decided to leave her in order to protect her. What he didn't know though was that when he decided to break up with Alexis she was pregnant with his child. However, after six years in hiding and thinking everyday about the woman he loves and taking revenge for what he's lost in life, he has to resurface and protect Alexis from the men who are responsible for his miserable life. Imagine his surprise when he finds out that Alexis is getting married in one month's time and that he is actually the father of an adorable boy.The main characters of the book were nothing unusual for this kind of story. Hunter was a troubled but very honorable man who thought that he did whatever the best when he decided to break up with Alexis. On the other hand Alexis overshadowed Hunter completely. She was abandoned while pregnant, which didn't destroy her but made her even stronger. She is an excellent mother and from how she handled the situation with her financé, a very fair woman. I absolutely loved her way of argumentation when she tried to persuade Hunter to stay in her and their boy's life after the adventures they had to go through.  However, a bit more elaboration on the main characters' lives wouldn't have hurt me and might have added a bit more depth.The story line of the book was nothing unusual for a romantic suspense. The balance between romance and action was well maintained, the love scenes entertaining without being explicit.A nice read for a good afternoon's escape - nothing else.
