Claire Marshall gave up the dream of family when her husband and son perished in a boating accident. Although her son's body was never found, she made her peace and moved on. But all that changed after a visit to the mall, where she swore she saw her son alive and well. Determined to follow this shred of hope, Claire hires hunky but troubled PI Connor Sullivan to follow the case to its end. As the puzzle pieces start to snap together, so do the hearts of Claire and Connor. Hannon's (One Perfect Spring, 2014) latest romantic suspense tale is a story of hope, desperation, love, and redemption that will have readers eagerly turning each page. Claire is a refreshingly strong heroine, sure in her convictions and steadfast even in the face of tragedy. Her romance with Connor is a true matching of equals as they share their pasts and face troubling present circumstances relying on each other for support. Hannon delivers a romance deepened by the inspirational theme of making the most of any situation.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
