Spoiler warning... Spoiler warning...  Spoiler warning...  Spoiler warning...This book had potential, but left me amazed at the number of errors it contains; it appears that no one edited this book.  It was full of spelling errors and misused words.  The plot was so convoluted, that I can't really explain it, but I'll try.Cora is a local television reporter, whose dad, Jerry works as an accountant for Keith Holloway, a well-known wealthy man.  Cora is worried when Jerry doesn't meet her for an evening dinner at a restaurant.  As she walks to her car, a man calls her name, and introduces himself as Nick.  Nick tells her that Jerry is tied up and can't meet her, but doesn't tell her where he is.  After a mutual staring contest, where they internally rhapsodize about how good-looking the other is, Nick asks her to dinner.  Cora turns him down and gets into her car.  She's worried and decides to follow Nick to see if he leads her to where Jerry is.They end up at Keith's estate where she looks through a window and sees her father with Keith and young thug and it appears he's under duress.  Cora is caught by Keith's main henchman, a scary guy named Alexander, who forces her to go inside the house.  When Cora is momentarily left alone with Jerry, he tells her that someone has been skimming money for the past 5 years, and Keith believes he stole a million dollars from him.  Keith tells them that they have nothing to worry about if he gets his money back.  As Alexander pulls her away, Nick walks in and tells Alexander and his father that he will handle the situation.  Nick takes her to his car, tells her he's Keith's son, but he's one of the good guys and will try to help protect her and her father (from his father and Alexander).  He tells her that a lot of money is missing and his father Keith believes her father stole it.  Unless her father can come up with the missing money, Keith will have him killed and there's not much Nick can do about it.  According to Nick, they can't trust the police or anyone else in law enforcement because of how powerful his father is.Nick takes her to a cabin in the woods to get her away from Alexander and to protect her.  He also tells her that he's a lawyer.  I've read, seen, and heard about many inept lawyers, but never one who was the hero in a love story.  Disregarding the ethics of a lawyer aiding and abetting a crime (kidnapping/extortion), the plot made little sense.  Her father was no innocent victim--as Keith's accountant, unless he was a total idiot, he had to have a good idea how crooked Keith was.  Later, after several other silly plot machinations, we find that the evil Alexander actually stole the money and set Jerry up because he was obsessed with Cora.  What an elaborate way to win over the woman of your dreams!  Of course, along the way Nick and Cora fall in love.  I finished the book, but can't remember much more than that because the dialog was so trite and plot so silly.  Of course, as they say, YMMV.
