I enjoyed this book, the characters in this book were very entertaining and believable. I especially like the character of Sophie, and her friend Gillie. Making their way in a setting not ready for independent strong women. It was very interesting to see the newspaper business from this inside view. All in all, a great story told by a very talented author. 4 stars 320 pages US $15.99 Thomas Nelson Publishers.

When Sophie interviews Ethan for the paper, he is impressed with her intelligence and astounded by her beauty.

Just as she summons the courage to tell him, Ethan's own past unexpectedly and violently catches up with him, threatening not only his life but their budding romance.
