"A riveting romance"
Over a decade ago Harrison Montgomery saved Abigail Lee's
life when he provided her employment following the murders
of her parents. Harrison's kindness enabled Abigail to
keep her younger sister Rachel with her and she would do
anything for her mentor and his family. However, the company is in trouble so Abigail turns to an
international expert on saving failing businesses for
help. She turns to Harrison's alienated illegitimate son
Ethan Maddux just prior to the man flying to Prague for a
conference. Neither father nor son look upon Abigail's
request with favor as they have not spoken in two decades,
but she continues her pursuit of saving the business and
even more important: a reconciliation between the two. As
Ethan and Abigail fall in love, he wonders if she really is
his father's paramour, but his doubts don't stop him from
needing to keep her safe when her life is threatened. This is a strong cast especially the dynamic secondary
characters. The lead couple is a charming duo as Abigail
is an intrepid individual while Ethan occasionally
overplays the angst-laden family victim remains a viable
delightful protagonist. The story line is fast-paced
especially when the suspense of the who-done-it and doing-
it kicks into full gear. Fans will enjoy MacKenzie
Taylor's debut novel and want a sequel a few years into the
future starring the heroine's sister (and a couple of
nieces/nephews). Harriet Klausner
