"4 Hearts...A dramatic love story that kept my attention completely focused on it for the majority of the book. Though Donovan and Cori were not remarkable characters, as they were portrayed as normal people with quirks and insecurities, their story was fascinating. I had to keep reading to see how things would end, not just with the main plot, their romance, but with subplots as well. It was full of suspense and action, as well as many entertaining secondary characters. Though the romance occurred quickly and in the beginning of the story, Donovan and Cori's continued partnership and devotion to each other was admirable. I enjoyed this story quite a bit but must admit it focused more on the suspense than the romance. Second Chances was a wonderful romantic suspense, and more than worth a read by anyone."—The Romance Studio

"Donovan…there's something I need to tell you."

He traced the curve of her cheek with his index finger. "I already know." He dropped his hand to her belly. "You're holding our child for safekeeping."

Tears puddled in her eyes. "Who—"

"No one told me." He smiled. "I'd like to say that with my keen observation and deductive reasoning as a federal agent it was easy to spot. Truth is I didn't realize until today when I started to put things together."

He brushed away her tears. "Don't cry, sweetheart. This is a happy time."

"But you're not happy." Her voice quivered with every word. "This is your nightmare come true." Sighing, he tucked her into the curve of his body. "But there's joy here, too. We're having a baby."

Who was he kidding? He was scared to death.

Cori tucked his arms tighter around her. "You're a bad liar."

"Did you use a pregnancy kit or a doctor?"

"A kit. Why?"

"What did you do afterward?"

Cori frowned. "I threw it away. Why?"

No lies. This was too important. "Then you can bet Torrelli knows."

When she tried to pull back to look at him, Donovan held her tight. "He'll be coming for you now, Cori. Let him take you. Do what ever you have to do to survive." He looked deep into her eyes. "And know this—I will do whatever it takes, I will say whatever I must, to see no harm comes to you or our baby. Understand?"
