Amy Robinson comes home to Lagniappe, Louisiana to
recuperate from a broken ankle she sustained doing her job
as a smokejumper in Idaho. She discovers that her step-
father has been released from prison and is back home with
her mom. Amy decides Louisiana is not the place for her.
As
she takes the only thing she has left of her father's, a
model 64½ Ford Mustang, and heads down the road, Amy
breaks
down, only to be rescued by Grant Mansfield, on his way
home to relieve the babysitter of his two daughters. Grant
lost his wife a year ago in a drug war bombing. His
passion
is tinkering with old cars, and he offers to fix Amy's car
just for parts. Grant also offers the extra bedroom in his
home for as long as it takes him to fix her car. Amy is
reluctant, but Grant's children help to seal the deal.
Amy has no maternal instincts, but offers to help Grant
with some babysitting since his current sitter is in
transition to a new job. All is going well, until Grant's
oldest daughter, Peyton, throws a fit and goes out to her
playhouse. When it's time to eat, Peyton can't be found.
The phone call that comes shortly thereafter reveals that
she has been kidnapped? Can Grant make good on what the
kidnapper wants or can they find Peyton before it's too
late?
Beth Cornelison gives us a delightful story in her latest
book in her Mansfield series, THE MANSFIELD RESCUE. Amy
and
Grant are strong characters who have experienced brutal
hurts in their lives. Both question our current court
system and wonder if it is out of step with justice, as
their lives are being impacted by it. This is a story
about
not letting your past define who you are or your future.
It's about there being a difference between being content
with life and really being happy. Will Grant let guilt
rule
his life, or can he find love again? The action moves
along
quickly, filled with drama and suspense, and keeps the
reader engaged from beginning to end.
A single father discovers the price of revenge and the
power
of love
After his wife's murder, Grant Mansfield vowed to stay
true
to her memory and to protect their children. But fate has
other plans. His temporary houseguest, injured smokejumper
Amy Robinson, has him burning with a white-hot attraction,
and the single dad's nightmare comes true when his older
daughter is kidnapped.
Grant is just the man the adventurous Amy never knew she
needed, his children the family she never knew she wanted.
Before she can rescue his lonely heart, the handsome
widower
must become a hero. Only Grant can rescue his little girl.
But time is running out…
