From the back...Once Deborah Vaughn had loved Ashe McLaughlin with all of her teenage heart. Then he'd disappeared, leaving Deborah with nothing...except the son they'd created. Now Ashe was back, insisting she play the part of his lover.Ashe had never forgotten Deborah and the night of passion they'd shared, or the way her father had railroaded him out of town. But as the star witness in a murder trial, Deborah needed Ashe, and he would do anything to keep her safe...and the safest place for her was in his arms.In my Opinion...Ashe is called back to his hometown by Deborah's mother. Ashe is told that Deborah is in need of a bodyguard. Deborah witnesses a murder and plans to testify against the man, however, someone is threatning her life and trying to keep her from telling what she knows. Ashe never thought that he would return home after Deborah's father ran him out of town, but how could he say no when Deborah's life was on the line. Ashe moves in with Deborah, her mother, and her brother. Deborah hoped to never see Ashe again after he left her years ago. She has never told anyone that her brother is actually her son, and Ashe's--not even Ashe. Now the man is living in her house and around their son and she is scared that he will find out the truth. But what happens when Deborah discovers the truth, that her own father accused Ashe of rape and ran him out of town. I had a hard time with this book and it was only because of my strong belief that every man has a right to know that he fathered a child. Ashe was never told about his son and to me that is simply unforgivable. Deborah may have been young and scared to go against her father, but later after she had gotten older and her father died she should have found Ashe and told him about their son. The book was good and another great addition to The Protectors series. The only problem with the book came from my own beliefs.
