"This story is part suspense and part erotically charged romance, and the author does a superlative job in both areas. Akeem and Taylor are both very charismatic characters with determination and grit. Little Christopher is a scene stealer. The plot is a roller coaster ride full of suspense and action, and you will find that it is over all too soon." --Coffee Time Romance

Billionaire Akeem Abdul's arrival at the McKade ranch went from business to personal when he learned Taylor McKade's little boy had disappeared. Taylor had only become more beautiful over the years, and Akeem couldn't stand seeing the pain on her face. As they followed the kidnappers' orders and trekked through the Texas heat, Akeem admired the strength it took for Taylor not to fall apart. But he was there when she did—and vowed to bring her son home. Still, all the money in the world couldn't eliminate his secret fears: that if they didn't find her son, this woman he'd finally found again could be lost to him forever….

After her marriage, Taylor has trouble trusting any man but, time and again, Akeem has proven he will do anything to save her child. Marton has a great hand at family espionage and tantalizing suspense. She's at the top of her game here." Pat Cooper
