Seth’s best friend’s dying wish is for Seth to raise his daughter.
The
first Seth hears of it is when the will is read. The deeply traumatized
little girl, Sylvie, is soon the center of his world. When a former
nanny, now chef, agrees to help them adjust to their new lives, it
doesn’t take long for him to realize that she is the woman he never
thought he needed. But Seth is a top agent on a team of elite security
guards. He’s one of the best but sometimes he’s too good at his job.
When one of the psychopaths he’s helped put away, is paroled with a vow
to kill Seth, all his special force instincts are on high alert.
How
does he keep his new daughter and the woman he’s come to love, safe
from a firebug who will stop at nothing to kill them all?
Five Star Review
"Another book by Jessica McBrayer I
couldn't put down. Read it in one day. This book was awesome, All I have
to say is read it, it is a definite keeper at my house."
Excerpt:
“Cohen,” I said as I fumbled with my phone. I squinted at the time and found it was four in the morning. Work sometimes called with an emergency, but I didn’t recognize the number.
“Mr. Seth Cohen?” a disembodied female voice asked.
“Yes, this is Seth Cohen. Can I ask who this is and why you’re calling me at four in the morning?”
“There’s been an accident. I’m sorry to tell you that Leonard Wilkes has passed away.” I sat straight up in bed. All remnants of sleep gone. Leonard Wilkes was a ghost from my past.
“Leo’s dead? What happened?” I asked.
“He and his daughter were in a car accident. He was legally drunk when he hit a streetlamp going several miles above the speed limit. He died but his daughter survived.”
“Jesus. I mean I’m so sorry. I haven’t heard from him in six years,” I said, wondering why the hell they were calling me.
