"A powerful and exciting beginning to a new series"
Taking care of busines.... That is what sent Mitch McCluskey back to his hometown.
He was going home to reunite with his sons and the lady he
had loved from afar for 17 years, Melissa "Lissa" Carroll. For many years Lissa wondered if she would ever hear from
Mitch again. Then she was asked to raise his sons until
he returned from the Air Force. Now he has returned home
and their reunion is bittersweet. Mitch soon realizes
that the sweet, young girl he left behind is now strong,
courageous and wounded very deeply. Mitch has always
regretted not confessing his love to Lissa years ago and
when he realizes that she is no longer married and he
finally confesses his true feelings for her, Lissa has a
difficult time believing it. After years of a marriage
that was devoid of passion, Lissa doesn't believe any man
would find her desirable, especially not the man that left
her years ago. Lissa isn't sure she knows who Mitch is
anymore and isn't even sure if she knows herself. Lissa
feels she has lost herself and wants some adventure and
excitement in her life, little does she know just how
exciting Mitch's life really is. Mitch knows he must convince Lissa that his love is and
always has been true before he loses her for good and he
is shocked when he realizes he has to prove to Lissa that
he isn't a people smuggler. Mitch knows that someone is
watching them and that this someone has gotten to Lissa
and has been feeding her half-truths, making her doubt
him - on all levels. Mitch and Lissa embark on an
adventure of suspense, danger, excitement and unfulfilled
desires. They fight to protect each other and keep a
young girl with no family safe, while trying to find the
unknown enemy that will stop at nothing to see Mitch dead
and have Lissa for himself. WHO DO YOU TRUST? is a deeply emotional story that will
make you laugh one moment and cry the next. Watching
Lissa and Mitch find their way back to each other, past
the betrayals, the fears and mistrust will touch the
reader on many levels. It made me think about the
tragedies and injustices of the world and made me wish
that I could change them all and protect every child.
This is the first book in Ms. James series, THE
NIGHTHAWKS, and I know I am anxious to read more about the
men and women we meet in this book that are part of the
secret organization. Melissa James is a fabulous writer who speaks from her
heart straight to the heart of the reader. The roller
coaster of emotions and suspense in this book had me on
the edge of my seat wishing the adventure never had to end.
