Rekindled Heart (Heart #8)
Vivian Rose Lee - 2016
She wasn’t concerned about what the repercussions might be for her personally, given the circumstances of the situation, but if there was the slightest chance of saving her thirteen year old son, she had little choice but to try. Once the secret was revealed, however, should he refuse to help her, she was ready to become a fugitive on the run if that’s what it took. Delco Whalen’s return from his five-year stint in Italy was long overdue. He missed his family more than he’d thought, and moving back home and surrounding himself with family was what he felt he needed in his life right now to shake off the swell of loneliness that was starting to conquer him. He was older now. Maybe it was the time that he settled down with a woman who would accept him, even with all his flaws, but that was little more than a pipe dream. Just when he thought that his life was coming full circle, he was presented with a secret that would turn his life upside down, not including the promise that he felt obligated as a man who keeps his word to honor, which inadvertently places him in a nightmare of his own choosing.
