Book Description:

But when she suspects a little boy is in jeopardy from his powerful father, the danger turns on her. Her only source of protection? The handsome police officer who broke her heart five years ago. Yet after John Waltham comes to her rescue in more ways than one, Samantha must trust in him - and the Lord - to watch over her and save one sweet little boy.

I enjoy the Love Inspired series of books and this one did not disappoint!  Valerie Hansen weaves in the often treacherous job of saving children from abusers.  This is not a glamorous job, but is a very rewarding job. 

As the mystery unfolds, Samantha is evaluating the possibility of abuse when strange things begin happening.  A purse snatching, a home and car invasion, and a dog - napping.  Through it all, she needs to rely on her former beau for protection without wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Valerie Hansen has written an excellent romance / suspense novel.  The twists and turns of the mystery draw the reader into the story to solve the crime and save the innocent victims.
