You'll do anything to protect her.
But you'll have to find her first.

When LAPD forensic psychologist Becca Ortiz agrees to foster teenage runaway Ash, she knows she will love and protect her as her own daughter.

Ash may have turned her back on her old life on the streets, but there is still one person who she can't bear to lose. Now he is about to drag her back into a dark world where nothing and no one is safe.

How far will Becca go to save her daughter?
And can she find her before it's too late?

Anger

Book started out good and for the most part was a good read. I think it was a bit ‘easy’ and maybe not realistic for the real world but then the ending ….. ruined the whole book for me. I am livid at the ending and how the author thinks this was away to wrap the whole story up …. I don’t know if she is hoping to write a sequel or what but the ending for lack of a better word sucked in my opinion. I’m almost worried and regretting the fact I downloaded another of her books halfway through this book if this is how she ends stories. I really hope I’m wrong in this respect cause I feel like I wasted my money on this book all it did was put me in a bad mood and make me angry. I just keep reminding myself it’s only a story but the sad truth remains people like Mo are out there and are literally living their lives just like this character and I guess that’s why this ending made me so upset and angry. Let the punishment fit the crime people. So disappointed!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
