Newly Revised Second Edition
Love can rescue.
Love can also refuse to let go.
Second in The Mandy Story series. A contemporary romance of love, devotion, danger, and the courage to fight for those we hold dear.
The morning after Amanda Fields finally reunites with Garry Danzlo, she is taken from his bed—not by an enemy, but by a man who has loved her since boyhood.
Eddie Chandler is brilliant, wealthy, and fiercely devoted. He is also gravely ill and hiding it, even from Amanda. Convinced that a ruthless loan shark from her late husband’s past will kill her, he believes only he can keep her safe—and his devotion has crossed the line from protection into obsession.
Garry has already let her go once. He refuses to lose her again.
From Colorado ghost towns and unforgiving wilderness to a final reckoning in the Arizona desert, Amanda isn’t waiting to be rescued. She is fighting to survive and fighting to save the man who may destroy himself trying to save her, even if it costs her Garry.
And Robbie—the boy who holds a piece of their hearts— will not be left behind.
