"A strong romantic suspense"
Personal nurse Hannah Grey's last client died and his
family accused her of unethical practices when they did
not like the will though her share of $50,000 matched each
of theirs. Her agency obtains work as a personal nurse to
ailing Melinda Manly in remote coastal Maine. Meanwhile Melinda's playboy son Carrick hires surveillance
expert Gabriel Prescott to video his dying mom and her new
companion as he insists he fears for his mom's life from
associates of her late criminal spouse who stole and hid a
fortune of money that everyone from dangerous felons to
the law enforcement assumes she knows where the loot is.
Gabriel hides from Carrick that they are half-brothers but
accepts the job not realizing what the real danger is to
him comes from what Hannah does to his heart. This is a clever blending of the Prescott saga (see Lost
Texas Hearts) and the Manly saga (see The Fortune Hunters)
as Christina Dodd provides the audience with a strong
romantic suspense that closes out two wonderful series for
the price of one novel. The story line is fast-paced from
even before Gabriel meets Hannah and takes off when they
do meet. Fans will relish the Prescott-Manly merger. Harriet Klausner
