Grace Nolan is an ex-secret agent trying to live a quiet life with her son Danny. Her life has been peaceful for the past nine years. But when Danny is kidnapped and Grace is told she must trade Alex Rossi, a member of the Devlin Group, for her son, Grace hurries to comply. Getting Alex to agree isn't going to be easy. He's the guy who shot Grace when a terrorist was holding her at gunpoint. He's also Danny's father...not that he knows about that.

This is the first story in Shannon Stacey's Devlin Group series. The characters felt like cardboard cutouts of many characters we've seen in romantic suspense books. I never connected with them. Alex has secretly kept tabs on Grace for years and is livid when he finds out that he has a son. Grace blames Alex for everything that has gone wrong in her life. There was a lot of melodrama that just made me roll my eyes. The suspense plot was predictable with no surprises. My rating: 3 Stars.
