¿¿"This is definitely a 'keep the Kleenex box close by novel,' and it's also a heck of a good read. Family dynamics, the search for that happily ever after, the handsome stranger, and - oh, yes - a nameless stalker... Highly recommended." -Karen K. Brees, author of Crosswind
"Kari Wirth tells the story of loss, grief, anger, and the long path to peace with sensitivity and skill." -Kim Conrey, author of Stealing Ares
Ronnie Callahan's rise to police chief is her ultimate achievement. Nothing or no one will ruin that, especially her handsome, down-to-earth ex-husband, Officer Tony Lombardo.
She can handle working side-by-side with him. Outside of the station is a different story. Tony certainly isn't making it easy on Ronnie with holiday invitations to his parents' house and spending the night at her apartment. Through a series of unexpected encounters, Ronnie and Tony are forced to come to terms with the tragedy that tore them apart.
Just as healing begins after a decade of pain, guilt, and regret, a new man swoops into Ronnie's life. Dr. Aidan Foster is everything Tony isn't: sophisticated, educated, and wealthy. That's only the beginning. Lurking in the shadows, a stalker's plot for revenge puts Tony and Ronnie in imminent danger that could change their lives forever.
