"Exciting romantic suspense"
Though several years have passed, former Houston police
officer Michael Sullivan still feels guilt over the death
of his partner. Mike goes out of his way to help Pete's
family. When Adam Webster offers a million dollars to find
his missing wife and son, Mike accepts the offer though he
finds his client distasteful. Mike sees the payoff as a
means of assisting Pete's family. Mike tracks Adam's wife to New Orleans where she works as a
waitress at a diner. Lily Tremont claims to be a widow
raising her son. She fled her spouse Adam not because of
his treatment of her as a trophy wife sex kitten, but when
she realized he will one day kill their child. Following
the call back to Miami, Mike realizes he made an error and
now tries to keep Lily and her son safe. However, as Mike
and Lily fall in love, he wonders if he survives the evil
chasing them how will he live with knowing he is Judas to a
nice boy and the woman he cherishes. Though the plot is exciting as so many romantic suspense
novels are, Metsy Hingle freshens up the story line further
through a strong cast. The lead couple is a wonderful pair
and the secondary characters provide depth so that the
audience understands the motives of Lily and Mike. Readers
will wonder why Mike could not wait to learn why Lily gave
up wealth for a diner even with the ticking clock and his
obsession. This is a very powerful tale that will gain Ms.
Hingle a lot of new readers. Harriet Klausner

Summary"I'll pay you one million dollars to find my wife and
son."
Ex-cop turned bounty hunter Michael Sullivan doesn't think
any woman is worth that kind of money, but a job is a job.
All he has to do is make the phone call...
Just drop in the quarter and tell his client he's earned
his money. Lily Webster and her son are in New Orleans,
where she's working as a waitress. One phone call and he
can collect a cool million bucks...and forget the
beautiful
woman who seems to be hiding something.
Too late, he realizes he's made a mistake...
Only after he's made the call does he begin to realize
what
he's done. In the blink of an eye Michael Sullivan becomes
Lily's only chance for survival. Now all he has to do is
convince her to trust him. But why would she put her life—
and the life of her son—in the hands of the man who
betrayed her?
