Tony Driscoll is a young student at a Christian college. He was raised by his grandmother after the death of his parents when he was nine. Sitting in the student center coffee shop he overhears a beautiful young woman speaking with her boyfriend. As he looks at her he is immediately smitten. To his surprise she is ending her relationship with the young man and Tony wonders if he would have a chance with her.Megan, a first year student has come to the realization that her relationship with her High School sweetheart has come to its natural end. Each of them has changed over the four years they have been together and their lives and futures are moving in different directions.  Megans now ex-boyfriend, Keith, does not understand the changes in her and is determined to continue the relationship at any cost.Befriended by Tony, Megan feels relieved that she is no longer in a serious relationship. But now things are becoming difficult. Keith is leaving her pleading and threatening phone calls. He accosts her and tries to persuade her to change her mind and come back to him. She is attacked by an unknown male assailant and injured. Soon she doesn't know who to turn to for help. Is Keith her attacker or protector, is Tony the man she thinks he is, or is he keeping secrets?Nicely written, this YA mystery is full of twists, turns and switchbacks. The reader never is quite sure who the bad guy is or where the next attack is coming from. As Christian fiction the language is clean, the romance is g-rated and the characters use prayer and belief to assist them in making good decisions.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black Book
