He needs to figure out how to come to terms with everything in his life and figure out his role with Alyssa.
When Rex and Alyssa finally decide that they will give into their feelings, it’s fireworks but nothing comes easy. Rex’s secrets come back to haunt him.
This is a very captivating book. This was my first Jackie Paxson story and I was really impressed. I loved her characters. Her storyline had great forward movement. It was a joy to read it. The suspense of the stalker, Rex’s secrets and their chemistry made this a 4/5 read for me. I did have hard time getting into the story and focusing. I wish that there had not been as much background given in the beginning.
