While on a mission, Reid had broken the rules to share a very passionate night with Lara. After that night, Lara learned he was dead, his shop and hers burned to the ground. Later, Lara learned she was pregnant with Reid's sons.
Almost two years later Reid and Lara are thrown together again when a gunman kills Reid's witness, an event which drags Lara into the middle of things. Reid then learns of his two sons, and Lara learns that the man she had fallen in love with, the man who she thought had died in that fire, was still alive. When Lara first tells Reid the twins are his, he doesn't believe her. But after taking her and the twins to a safe house, he knows they belong to him. Now, he will do anything and everything in his power to save the woman he loves and his children.
It has been a long time since I have picked up a Harlequin Intrigue book, and even longer since I have read an amazing story by Dana Marton. But it didn't take me long to instantly fall into the tale of a family torn apart by tragedy, and brought back together when all is almost lost. You know Reid wants to do the right thing. He yearns to be a family man, but how can he do that with his job? At every turn, he would be putting Lara and the boys at risk; he can't do that. Lara is a strong, independent woman, who eventually learns she is living her life, and no one else's. She has also been alone for the past two years to raise her beautiful boys. She's determined to do that with or without Reid.
You will instantly love these two characters. You'll also love the dynamics of this story, and the twists and turns. Just when you think you know what is about to happen, Ms. Marton hits us with a 180 and something you would least expect happens. In other words, she'll keep you on the edge of your seat. I turned the pages so fast, I have paper cut on two of my fingers. I couldn't put this book down...and I'll bet neither will you.
Book Summary
In one unforgettable moment, Lara Jordan broke all the rules
in her play-it-safe handbook and spent an incredible night
with Reid Graham, a practical stranger. But before she even
had time to bask in her fearlessness, a suspicious fire
stole him away and left her pregnant, heartbroken and alone.
Until now.
Walking back into Lara's life after two
years was never on the operative's agenda. Unfortunately,
remaining "dead" was no longer an option once their baby
boys were kidnapped. Now, Reid had to convince Lara she
could trust he'd sacrifice his own life to bring their
children home for Christmas— without admitting the mission
might just come to that.
