Spencer Halloway is one smart cop. He cut his eye teeth in the Motor City. He was burned out. But that didn't mar his intuition. And he was now the sheriff of Pine Creek with a disatisfied, bungling deputy, Chet Allen.Mercy Royce was too evasive. The telltale look in her eyes too guilty. A look that said she was on the run. Being stranded on a deserted road has made her very vulnerable. She has more problems than Spence could even guess at.She is headed for a cabin on Big Bear Lake. This will make her a neighbor of Spence's. Spence is captivated by her little girl, Casey and ends up spending some wonderful times with them.But he can not break through Mercy's mistrust and evasive lies. Until danger threatens. Someone is after Casey? The lawman in Spence wants to investigate Mercy and her little girl, but the man in him [what a man] wants to believe that the long-legged beauty was innocent of any wrong doing, despite his suspicions and her lies.Oh Spence, what problems you have! Excellent story and you will love the child, Casey and the bonding love between Spence and Mercy and Casey. Wonderful characters - well developed story but someone sure needed to bring a shotgun. [grin] Did I forget? this takes place in northern Michigan.Definitely Recommended -- judge for yourself!
