Normally, Wes Grayson would have been attracted to the striking woman with the camera. But this woman has clearly been stalking Amy, his adoptive daughter and the center of his life. And a threat to Amy is a threat to Wes. Laney Fields has no desire to threaten anyone, just a longing to see the child she'd brought into the world six years ago and then been forced to release for adoption. But when she learns that Amy's adoptive mother has died, Laney becomes determined to play a part in her daughter's life. Between a man and woman torn by past losses, present fears, and the paradox of their growing fascination for each other, stands one small child. She could be the object of distrust that will drive them apart or the agent of faith in God that can bring them together.

I ordered this online and didn't realize it wasn't more suspense. Instead, it's a contemporary romance written in the 1990s. It's got a feel-good slant to it—you know in chapter one who's going to fall in love and in chapter two how/why—but aside from being predictable, it's a very sweet and endearing story. It was a very quick read for me and I couldn't put it down until the end. Being interested in adoption, I'm always happy when it shows up in fiction, and this story raises some what-if questions in the realm of adopt vs. birth and the rights that each should/could/might have.
