Overview
A woman desperate for a family finds herself the center of a murder investigation in this captivating tale from USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson.
Sylvia wants nothing more to be a mother, so when an unorthodox arrangement presents her with the opportunity, she jumps at the chance -- no questions asked. But her dream-come-true quickly unravels when a pregnant teen is murdered and the case hits far too close to home.
As Detective Peter Ball pieces the crime together, his sleuthing threatens to destroy Sylvia's family in a web of darkness and deception that uncovers an illegal adoption. Though he's simply doing his job, he may be forced to rip motherhood from Sylvia's grasp.
USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson serves up suspense with important life lessons in this unforgettable read that reminds us all of the possibilities that await in both life and love. That is, if we're brave enough to accept them.

About the Author
Like most of her characters, Tess Thompson hails from a small town and will always feel like a small town girl, despite the fact she’s lived in Seattle for over twenty-five years. She loves music and dancing, books and bubble baths, cooking and wine, movies and snuggling. She cries at sappy commercials and thinks kissing in the rain should be done whenever possible. Although she tries to act like a lady, there may or may not have been a few times in the last several years when she’s gotten slightly carried away watching the Seattle Seahawks play, but that could also just be a nasty rumor.
She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her brand new husband, the hero of her own love story, and their Brady Bunch clan of two sons, two daughters and five cats, all of whom keep her too busy, often confused, but always amazed. Yes, that’s four kids and five cats. Pray for her.
