From award-winning author Billie Dale comes the story of a mothers fight to keep herself and her daughter out of the clutches of the Cosa Nostra and away from an obsessed stepbrother whose feelings are anything but brotherly.
I needed a place no one would know me.
Sanctuary.
And as far from everyone in my past as possible without leaving the country.
The island of Mercy Bay is my fresh start.
I’m a new mother with a colicky baby and no support system. Nights of screaming bring the surly neighbor to my door. Big, brooding, ex-hocky playing, infuriating and hot, Walker Wheler is the baby whisperer. He adores my daughter.
Me? Not so much.
I don’t need another man to complicate my life, but I can’t resist Walker. After a night of explosive passion, I discover I’m not the only one with secrets.
When the twisted truth comes calling, I learn that no matter how far or fast you run, the past will always find you in the end.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
Secrets, danger, and more made this story interesting. Sarai/Symon had run from danger and found friendship and support. She was trying to be a good mom to her baby, protecting her from the dark past. She was well prepared to protect herself, though things did not work out the way she wanted. Wheeler was attentive and caring with Symon and Brynlee. Then secrets dropped, and questions were raised. As the danger arrived, people showed who they truly were. I found it a bit distracting to have her past in such detail after I became invested in the present side of the story. Overall, this was a good read.
I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
