About this ebook

Prudence Hartley has the usual single mom problems: getting her kids to school on time; juggling a gazillion errands while trying to get a full day’s work done; oh, and don’t forget about dinner.

But Pru’s problems become a tad more complicated and a lot more dangerous when she finds a dead man in her house. Or a dead spy to be exact. Suddenly, a federal agent named David Merrick shows up and whisks her and her kids into protective custody. Pru has so many questions spinning through her brain she doesn’t know where to begin. How is she going to keep her kids safe? What was the dead spy looking for in her house? Why are the spies after her? Oh, and there’s one more question . . . just a pesky, minor thing. Why does Merrick have to be so damn sexy and protective?

Amazing job Allison, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.

I found this book excellent. It had everything plus kept me guessing till the very end which is fantastic. I felt bad for Prudence. She sure had bad luck with the attempts on her life but luck you have that gorgeous man protecting her. So well written, I loved reading it. It was fresh and original, with drama, humor and mystery plus the wonderful intimacy and touch of romance as well. Perfect story really! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

If you're looking for romance, this is not the book to read - didn't kiss until last chapter and it was all too mild. Story got a bit boring and lacked details of the characters - was she attractive, pretty? I really don't know - there were no simmering looks.
