Description
He’s not who he says he is.
But he’s her only hope.
Undercover detective Harley Maxwell has spent years tracking a master criminal. And the key to capturing his archrival lies with single mom Liz James, who might be aiding his target. Making Liz talk—by getting close to her—could also unravel a connected mystery that’s haunted Harley for years. But when Liz’s young daughter is kidnapped, getting the girl back becomes all that matters.
About the author
Melinda Di Lorenzo has been writing professionally for more than a decade and is the author of Counting Scars and Racing Hearts in the Orca Soundings line. In 2013 she won Harlequin's annual So You Think You Can Write contest, which came with a publishing contract and launched her successfully into the romance world. With a BA in English from Simon Fraser University and a passion for classic love stories that feature strong (albeit sometimes problematic) female leads battling social constraints, such as Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, Melinda infuses her books with flawed characters in real, relatable situations. Bullied as a teen, Melinda sought refuge in books. She now wants to bring that refuge to others, and she draws on her experience as the parent of three teens to craft stories that reflect modern struggles without turning those struggles into stereotypes. She also supports young writers and makes an annual creative writing scholarship donation to École Salish Secondary. Melinda lives in Surrey, British Columbia.
