Anita Cooper was three times a victim. Her father's death crushed her dreams of college and a better life. Then her purity was drowned in powerless anxiety and her gentle fantasies displaced by unspeakable humiliation, all because of a hard man who knew the way of the world. Rod Mantooth stole both her innocence and her father's legacy, a secret that could have rebuilt her life. Anita was lost until she encountered another hard man who knew the way of the world-the urban paladin and professional troubleshooter named Hannibal Jones. Like a rolling mass of icy fury, Hannibal followed the trail of corrupted human debris that would lead to Rod Mantooth and a final showdown in the icy waters of the Atlantic. ...a fast-paced, thrilling novel that will keep readers frantically reading to the last page. Leaves readers wanting more. -- The Romance Reader's Connection, December 2005
Abuse is never an easy topic to write about, but Camacho manages to do it with integrity. --Crime and Suspense Magazine, June 2006
