FOr the Love of Mandy

Finalist in five awards, including the National Indie Excellence Awards and the Book Excellence Awards.

The last thing Amanda Fields expected on the night she finally found her happy ending was for it to be taken away.

Eddie Chandler has always loved her. Brilliant, commanding, wealthy beyond measure — and carrying a secret that is slowly unraveling him — he is a man who has decided that Amanda belongs with him, not Garry. But Eddie isn't just acting out of love. A dangerous mob connected to Amanda's deceased husband has found her, and Eddie, in his fierce and complicated way, is determined to keep her alive. Even if that means taking her against her will.

What follows is unlike anything Amanda has faced before. A flight through Colorado ghost towns and unforgiving wilderness. A journey on foot through some of the most treacherous backcountry in the American West, toward Paradise, Arizona — territory that runs deep in Eddie's blood as a descendant of the great Apache chief Cochise. Eddie is her protector and her captor. He is devoted and unpredictable. He is also, she begins to suspect, running out of time.

Meanwhile Garry — finally understanding exactly what he almost lost — launches his own desperate pursuit. Part daring rescue mission, part reckoning with himself, it is the most important thing he has ever attempted. And Robbie, the boy Amanda loves like a son, refuses to be left out of it.

Funny, breathless, emotionally raw, and impossible to put down, For the Love of Mandy is a love story about three people who all want the right thing — and can't agree on what it is.
