Important life lesson -- not really that important how
others see you -- but how you see yourself. Inside and out
what's really important is about who you are not what you
portray to outside world. Sometimes it's difficult to see
beyond that carefully crafted façade but when someone cares
they can.
On the outside Griffin York was gruff, unfriendly and hard.
But that's not what Nora saw.
The search for the Sullivan's mother has a different focus
now that her body was discovered. Tori, Nora and Layne face
the truth that their mother didn't desert them eighteen
years ago -- she was murdered and dumped in the woods. The
hurt and anger quickly morphed into a bone chilling sadness
and remorse for harboring ill thoughts of a woman who had
not run away with a lover but probably died at his hands.
The previous missing person's case has now become a murder
investigation and the leading suspect is her lover Dale
York. The harsh reality is that the case may never be solved
after all these years and Layne,now the Assistant Police
Chief,
has failed to locate Dale who had disappeared that night as
well. Their only hope seems to be gaining information from
Dale's son Griffin.
Nora decides to take matters into her own hands and finds a
unique way to establish contact and a relationship with
Griffin which in no way meets with approval from her
family. Griffin has made himself a place in Mystic Point as
the owner of the local garage -- not that he feels accepted
but he has made his peace with that.
His first close-up encounter with Nora leaves him with the
impression she was a smart ass devil-in-angels disguise.
Tough and soft at the same time with an agenda that is
sure to drive him nuts with her incessant questions about
his father's whereabouts. As far as Nora is concerned she
is unprepared to discover that Griffin was just about
the most beautiful man she has ever seen. She is driven
and stubborn, he thinks she is just nuts but the die is
cast. Griffin feels that Nora hiring a private investigator
would just be a waste of time and money. Finding Dale
might not bring any more insight into her mother's death,
even though Griffin is very aware of how violent his
father could be. What neither one counted on was the evil
can of worms that would present itself once Dale shows
himself. And Griffin is determined to protect Nora from
the man who stood to cause both their families even more
damage. Wow, ON HER SIDE, the second installment in the
Sullivan series starts
off with a bang and is unrelenting straight to the last
page. Needless to say the third and last in the series is
on my must have
list. This series will definitely put Beth Andrews on the
romantic suspense map.
SUMMARY
Attorney Nora Sullivan wants her mother's killer behind
bars. To do that, she needs the help of the primary
suspect's son—Griffin York. Too bad Griffin seems
determined to avoid all involvement. Fortunately, Nora
knows something about persuasion and sets out to convince
him he's needed. It's not easy getting past his rebel
facade, yet she sees glimpses of the considerate—and sexy—
side he hides. Her efforts to sway him have an unexpected
effect when every glimpse of the inner Griffin makes her
want him more! Regardless of the simmering attraction, what can the future
hold for them? Their differences go beyond the murder case
between them. Yet when Nora needs Griffin the most, he
proves he just might be on her side.
