The first in a Gripping New Romantic Suspense Saga from Multi-Award Winning, USA Today Bestselling Author Tamara Ferguson.
Air Force Lieutenant Max and Juliet Braedon, soon to be an R.N., were deeply in love and married young, assuming of course that nothing could ever break them apart.
But when Max is sent overseas on a covert mission working for Air Force intelligence, Juliet receives devastating news. Her husband has been killed in action.
Discovering she’s pregnant, Juliet barely manages to hold herself together after her father’s death from a sudden heart attack.
And that’s when John Hanover swoops in to the rescue. Their fathers were friends, and he’s been in love with her for years. They marry, and John adopts her son Noah.
Four years later, the unthinkable happens. Having been held captive and misidentified after insurgents had bombed the embassy where he’d been temporarily assigned to provide security, Max is still alive, although a shell of the man he once was.
Returning home, he’s heartbroken to discover his wife has remarried. Although Noah is his son, John Hanover begs him to remain out of Noah’s life. He knows nothing about Max. And besides, he and Juliet have another son, and she’s currently pregnant with twins.
Max moves forward as best he can – both mentally and physically – with the help of Emma, his former high school girlfriend, who’s widowed with a young daughter. And as a friend, he’s there for her when she’s diagnosed with breast cancer and doesn’t survive.
Years later, Juliet contacts Max, now an Air Force Colonel, hoping for guidance, when their son Noah, while working in search and rescue in Afghanistan as an Air Force Lieutenant, is severely injured as well as suffering from PTSD.
Much to his surprise, Max discovers that John Hanover has passed away, and Juliet is now a widow.
When Emma’s daughter Lily needs help getting away from her abusive husband, who also happens to be a cop, Max decides that he needs to come up with a plan – one that allows for Noah’s recovery once he’s released, as well as providing a safe haven for Lily, while he conducts an investigation that might put Lily’s husband behind bars.
Max had been considering what to do about an inheritance he was entitled to, figuring that the former resort in the upper peninsula of Michigan on Lake Superior would be the perfect place for him to retire. But now…maybe it could be used for a greater purpose – A Breakaway.
And strategically, maybe fate could bring him and Juliet back together again since he’d never stopped loving her…
Once Max’s investigation begins, he and Juliet are shocked by what they discover. And then Juliet does a little investigation of her own, after hiring a new business manager to handle the family finances that John left behind. Not only are there several dark family secrets…but an extraordinary betrayal – that includes murder.
