Author is good enough to develop the story if allowed by the publishers but I find that they appear to be restrictive. Thoroughly enjoyed the wounded Jack McCabe character -- Hailey, I worried about but did not doubt her love for the child Megan. Would have like a little more mystery value but, hey, I read for enjoyment. Am not looking for anything heavy in reading. And I will admit it took till the end to figure out the true villian. I would definitely keep this in my library.
Loved It!

I've been reading Jo Leigh's books for several years now, and this one is right up there. I really liked Jack. In fact, he's one of the most moving and real heroes I've ever read. Hailey was also a wonderful character. I got very lost in this book, finishing it in one sitting (and was late to work!). Excellent.
A "Keep You Guessing Book"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is about 4 year old Megan, who's Dad (Roy) takes her to Detective Jack's house for him to babysit for a couple of hours. After Roy left, he was shot down. Jack is always in a lot of pain because he was shot in the hip in the line of duty and also, Jack does not know how to handle kids, so he goes down to Hailey's apartment for help. Hailey was Megan's babysitter. Well, it looks like some cops are in on the killing, but Jack does not know which ones, and you do not find out until the very end. This book has suspense and romance in it. I recommend it highly.
