Jake's overprotective nature kicks in and he will go to any lengths to keep Gracie safe and help her find her sister, even though Gracie constantly puts herself in danger.Gracie has spent her entire life being taken care. She has been coasting along, never challenging the events in her life unless she has been prompted to do so by outside forces. She knows that she needs to take control of her life and jumps into action when she realizes that her sister is missing."All my life I've been the quiet one, the coward. Finally, thinking Regan needed my help gave me an opportunity to prove myself...to me.

His failed marriage and family history has him avoiding any and all emotional commitments, but he can't control his protective nature."All my life, I've had this need to protect. My mother threw it back in my face and too off ad I failed miserably in my marriage. Then I had to leave the police force. Since then I haven't had much of a chance to protect anyone.

Ms. Seaton does a great job developing the story and bringing it to an exciting conclusion, mixing the right amount of danger and intrigue with romance. A great read that keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next.I received an ARC for an honest review.
