In many books you read these days there is an Alpha male hero and the weaker (if only slightly) female heroin that although at first appearance is strong, once they come into contact with the hero, seem to lose all sense of strength and backbone.That is not the case with Hard to Hold. Anna Key Marshall is a product of her raising, as we say in the South, that of the System. And she vows never to be vulnerable to others again. Some of that comes from the love and loss of her best friend and ex-husband, Nick Marshall.Nick met Anna as a small child in the foster system and took her under his wing to protect above all else, even if that protection was from him. Having spent his early childhood at the hands of an evil and abusive father, he saw the weakness that love could be, as he watched his father murder his mother, and he promised himself he would be different.A former government assassin, now high ranking agent, he kept that promise by walking away from the one weakness that could have broken him, Anna. That is, until she was put into harms way.It had been years since the divorce, since he had thrown her away like so much garbage and she had learned to stand on her own two feet, and nothing anyone did, not Nick, not the stalker, nor the evil lurking in the shadows ready to kill her would make her change her mind. Ah, the best laid plans…This is a story of strength, betrayal, loss , danger, and love. Of coming full circle and finding out that the one thing you never wanted, is the one thing that can make you whole.A great read, full of excitement, peril, twists and turns. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, but you will definitely enjoy the ride.
