Maggie Walker yearns for the one thing she’s never truly felt: love. After years of rejection and abandonment, the shy and timid Nurse found that running felt right and provided her with the solitude she needed to avoid the haunting memories of her past.
Keeping to her routines and having complete control of her life, made things easier, but not more exciting. When chance steps in, it throws the unexpected in her path in the form of a handsome stranger named Charlie.
Charlie Hennings lives under the pressure of expectation. When forced to follow in his father’s footsteps as an FBI Agent, he left behind part of himself and the chance to embrace his dreams, which included settling down and starting a family.
When his latest endeavor lands him in an undercover position in Brown County, he never expects to find the one person he couldn’t live without, who also ironically ends up being directly connected to his current assignment.
Throughout their journey, Charlie makes it his personal mission to help Maggie break out of her shell and convince her that she deserves all the love in the world. But when Charlie’s lies are brought to light regarding his job, will it destroy everything they’ve been working toward?
Can Maggie overlook his deceit and let herself experience these new feelings of love or will she just runaway from it all?
**This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn't suitable for readers under the age of 18.**
Amber Nation's heartfelt dedication to her mum pulled on my heart strings and having lost my own mum I fully identify with her and how much we miss them ♥
Having read " Not Alone" it was great to catch up with Emmalynne, Grady, Charlie, Toby and lets not forget our treasure, the bookstore with yummy treats, " Turn the Page" ♥
It was also great finding out more about what happened with Corbin and Charlie's role as an agent for the FBI.
Maggie grew up in an abusive home.One night her father goes to far and puts her in hospital , the nurse that took care of her had such an impact on her and inspired her to become a nurse herself.
Mason, Maggie's older brother was her protector whike growing up but sadly that changes and he turns into her dad and gets involved with some unsavoury characters. He rocks up at her front door and brings along a world of trouble with him.
Maggie pops in at the bookstore and has Miles hot under the collar and the alpha awakening in Charlie ♥
Charlie starts connecting the dots and realises that the object of his affections is going to end up in the middle of his current investigation involving her brother. In all honesty I don't think she's aware of her brother's dealings. What I can tell you is that he's very rough handed with her and he scares the daylights out of me !
A frightened Maggie calls Gio ( her gay bff) as Mason is trying to kick her door in.Gio makes sure that Mason leaves her alone but sadly with guys like Mason theres always trouble lurking about.
Maggie goes from being a loner to suddenly being surrounded by Toby, Tessa, Charlie, Emmalynne and Brock. She thrives and blossoms on feeling loved and belonging♥
Declan Smith ~ What an oxygen thief ! He's involved in human and drug trafficking and somehow Mason is linked with him , that can only mean trouble !
Things start heating up when Declan pays a threatening visit to Maggie and again "Alpha Charlie" emerges!
Dear old Henry ♥ an old man who's a patient of Maggie , is the sweetest man and he shares a special bond with her.He shares his own love story with her and encourages her to take a chance on Charlie♥
The relationship between Charlie and Maggie blossoms and Charlie is a real sweetheart making sure that everything is special . Tess, Toby and Maggie have a fun filled and interesting , ok hysterical, dance session, excellent "blackmail" material LOL :)
One of my favourite moments between Charlue and Maggie~~"The way he conveyed his words with such adoraration, I actually felt beautiful for the first in my entire life!" My heart just shatters into pieces.
Charlie knows Maggie's been through a tough time and he's even more protecetive of her and drawn to her but he carries the guilt of hiding his occupation from her but his heart is in the right place ♥~ He's doing it to protect her especially with people like Mason and Duncan lurking about.
Charlie and Maggie come across and accident scene and Maggie helps Sheridan,one of the victims till the EMT'S arrive and it would seem she pulls the heartstrings of one specific EMT , Mike ..... watch this space !
D-day or Delivery day arrives for Emmalynne and Maggie is there to welcome the new addition to the family and its me reaching for the kleenex ! I just recover and get comfortable when BAM !!Amber Nation hits us with an emotional, fearful and suspense filled twist OMW !
Our injured bird Sheridan decides to stay in Brown County ,she plays a big role in reconciling Charlie and Maggie. Mason is on his way to rehabilitation ! I wish only happiness and love for years to come for Charlie and Maggie.
A ★★★★★runaway read !
