Rachel Goodman's life story is a public legend - everyone knows that when she was a young girl, she witnessed the brutal murder of her mother. So it's no surprise that Rachel now runs a preschool programme for children who have been exposed to violence. Conversely, Nick Raine - the reliable but aloof handyman at the school - is a total enigma. So when the truth about his gunrunning past comes out, it tears Rachel's life apart like a knife. Now, the man Nick previously worked for - and once worshipped - has located Nick and given him an ultimatum: find his missing son, or the school - and Rachel - will suffer the consequences. Determined to help him find the boy, Rachel joins Nick on a journey filled with danger, secrets, betrayal...and love.

Great debut

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Two scarred, needy people unite in this book to save a child. Rachel Goodman lost her mother to violence and saw her father disappear into a Safer America program at a young age. This shaped her life, committing her to helping other children whose lives are touched by violence. Ironically, she is drawn to a man whose life was devoted to causing that violence for a time. Nick Raine was adopted by a crimelord and grew up in his service. Tragic events led him to leave that life, but now, because of Rachel, he is drawn back into it.
Nick's foster father, Rennie Spier, wants him to find the child his now deceased wife hid from him. When Nick refuses, Spier has Rachel beaten, and worse will happen if Nick does not cooperate. A nightmarish race to find the child and keep him safe from opposing forces brings Nick and Rachel closer together, but just as they find love, death may tear them apart.
***** This exciting novel heralds a promising debut. Characters you really care about and a touching romance hold your interest along with fast paced action and self sacrificing committments.

GREAT Book!

I was pleasanty surprised by this book...now I am hooked on Annie Solomon. I see that a lot of other reviewers discussed the plot so I will focus on the characters. It was really refreshing to have a tarnished, imperfect, leading man who is still appealing and captivating. Nick tries to forget his sins and hide, but ultimately he must face his past if he is to have any type of future...he become someone to root for. Rachel is damaged in other ways but spirited and formidable, giving her more depth than your average damsel in distress. Sometimes authors get caught up in how perfect their characters but not Annie Solomon. I loved that these people were not perfect in personality or in looks. She weaves a great story worthy of five stars for originally in both character development and plot. I will definitely read more of her work.
