About this eBook
Sunday Times bestselling author Nora Roberts returns with a brand new standalone novel - a story about the power of love to light a way through the darkness
'If you're after the perfect pick-me-up, take-me-away-from-the-world read, then she's your woman'
The Guardian
When he was nine, and his mother had her first deadly dance with cancer, Harry became a thief. Someone had to find food and pay the mortgage even if his mother was too sick to work. When his mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but somehow he can't quite leave all of his past behind.
Harry lives a quiet, careful, rootless life - he can't afford to attract attention or get attached - until he meets Miranda. But just when Harry thinks he has a chance at happiness his old life comes back to haunt him. Harry has had dealings with some bad people in his past but none more dangerous than Carter LaPorte and Harry is forced to run. But no matter what name he uses or where he goes, Harry cannot escape. If he is ever going to feel safe Harry must face down his enemy once and for all.
Only then can he hope to possess something more valuable than anything he has ever stolen.

A new style and book for Nora Roberts, which I really enjoyed and the fact that it went for 499 pages, as I hate short books that only go for around 200 pages. Story line was involved, with the author bringing some interesting ethics and morals into play, which was engaging. Whilst we teach children that things are black and white, as we grow into adulthood we know that there are many shades of grey on a lot of matters and this book handled it well. The story was pacey, hand lots of twists and turns and gave a lot of detail about changing identities and life styles as the main character tried to outrun his chaser. Also as usual the female characters were strong willed and not stereotyped, which always draws me into the story. Another winner and I hope she does more in this style.

I am a huge Nora Roberts fan. But...this is not one of her best novels. It seems to be a very long introduction, for a short dilemma, that gets sorted out very quickly. I kept waiting for the suspense and mystery that is common in many of her great novels, but there just wasn't any.

Very enjoyable escapism. Just Enough twists and turns, and character back stories to make for a dynamic and engaging story.
