An FBI agent discovers more than embezzling and murder when he takes on the kidnapping case of the daughter he never knew he had.
Hunting down a dangerous mob boss has brought FBI agent Mitchell Donovan home, reawakening an old flame, resurrecting a dead best friend, and discovering fatherhood. As if those aren’t enough, his new case will push everything else aside: finding the kidnappers who took the daughter he never knew he had.
Katherine Delaney never forgot the heartbreak Mitchell had caused with his abrupt departure all those years ago. With her dead ex-husband accused of murder and her daughter kidnapped, she will place her trust in the one man who could trample her heart again if she gets too close. But, will the resurrection of Katherine’s ex-husband and Mitchell’s chase for a killer destroy their second chance at love and happiness?
Excerpt
Mitchell stepped around Gladys upon entering Katherine’s room. His stomach churned at the sight of his dead friend’s wife lying in the hospital bed.
Katherine’s bruised cheek and superficial cuts didn’t take away from her beauty. A bandage covered her temple on the left side. Her ebony hair was tied back at the nape of her neck. Those dazzling emerald eyes he’d fallen in love with all those years ago held so much sadness.
Katherine blinked causing a single tear to roll down her cheek.
He walked toward her and held onto the foot of the bed to steady himself. His voice scraped out her name in a dry whisper. “Katherine?”
“Is ... is that my name?” she murmured.
“Yes.”
“Why can’t I remember? What’s going on?”
He moved over to the side of the bed and touched her hand. “It’ll be okay.”
Katherine tried sitting up. “Why am I here? How do you know me?” She moaned as she attempted to swing one leg over the side of the bed. She grabbed at Mitchell’s shoulders. “Please help me.” Her breathing quickened as she gasped for air.
