A shared mission to protect a child

Social worker Matti Colton’s professional boundaries are tested after six-year-old Sam is shot following his parents’ disappearance. Working with Dr. Ryan Palmer, she helps the traumatized boy feel secure, then joins him in protecting Sam when they realize killers are stalking him. The danger draws Matti and Ryan into a partnership that also challenges the emotional distance she has kept since an earlier tragedy. The suspense plot and developing romance are closely linked through their shared responsibility for Sam, with the story centering on protection, trust, and the costs of keeping others at arm’s length.

Book overview

A boy's life is in danger...

And they must unite to protect him.



A past tragedy taught social worker Matti Colton to maintain a professional distance with the kids she rescues. But when six-year-old Sam is shot after his parents' disappearance, Dr. Ryan Palmer enters her life...and forces her to start questioning her strict boundaries. Together they give the traumatized boy a sense of security. When it becomes evident the child is being stalked by killers, the two team up to guard him from danger. And the wall Matti's built around her heart begins to crumble. Now they'll do whatever it takes to protect Sam...and each other.
