About the Book
Running into Amber Neville after
twenty years wasn’t on Dr. Jackson Parker’s list of things to do. Amber had
been head girl to his head boy, and from what he remembers, she was British,
stuck up and bossy...But the red-haired beauty she’s grown into leaves him
stunned.Newly returned from a job in Canada, Amber remembers Jackson as a brash
and rude American--not at all the even-tempered, handsome doctor he's turned
out to be. But she can’t get involved, not with the massive burden she bears--a
burden that has to remain hidden at all costs.As secrets are revealed, Amber’s
life is thrown into danger. As the flowers fade, so does her chance of
survival. But Jackson has other plans. After all, doctors are meant to save
lives, no matter the cost.
My review
After reading several stories in the series and wondering
about the American who seems to be everywhere, saving people and generally
being part of the community, we finally get to his story. It’s worth the wait,
readers! Jackson Parker is full of surprises. Having been raised as the son of
a foreign diplomat, he had a lot to overcome and to prove to his classmates.
Although smart, he tended to act up and act out in all the wrong ways. The girl
he wanted most to approach back in their school days, Amber Neville, seemed out
of reach…and then Jackson and his family moved again.
The two of them receive the surprise of a lifetime when
Amber turns up in the small village Jackson returned to after getting his
medical education and license. She’s been a nanny to a high-powered family and
is looking for another job in this tucked-away place. Jackson wastes no time in
letting Amber know that now he’s grown up he’s not repeating his past and
letting her get away without even getting to know her. Amber is on edge, and
Jackson wants to help her. When a dangerous allergy gives him the opportunity
to come to her rescue, Amber’s heart is lost. Jackson unwittingly opens an ugly
can of worms when he asks his cop brother to do a background check. Unsure what
to believe and how to help, Jackson continues to pry until Amber can’t hide any
longer. By then it might be too late for both of them.
Lots of twists and turns make this sweet little suspense a
page-turner. Told from both points of view I was often shaking my finger at the
mean cops and the horrifying situation these poor people were involved with.
Those who love clean romantic suspense will love this story.
About the Author
Clare is a British author. She
lives in a small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she
married in 1992, their three children, and unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly
the black cat. They have recently been joined by Hedwig and Sirius the guinea
pigs. Clare is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby
interesting at times as it doesn’t matter who wins. Writing from an early
childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy
stories through fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys
writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When
she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles
of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make.
Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent ones are written in UK English.
The first draft of every novel is hand written.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars. She can be found at:
