Cordelia Kane's father suffered a heart attack. Before he died, Mr. Kane admitted to Cordie that her mother was alive. She abandoned Cordelia and her father when Cordie was a baby, so he brought her up on his own. After reading the letter that her mother wrote over thirty years ago, Cordie searches for her mother and learns that she is rich and living in Australia.

Cordie's friends talk Aiden Madison into taking Cordie to Australia. Cordie has loved Aiden since she was six years old, but he is oblivious to her feelings. As Cordie and Aiden spend time together, their feelings grow. And when Cordie's life is put in jeopardy, Aiden will do anything to protect her.

Aiden and Cordie were introduced in this series way back in book five. I was hoping that they'd have their own book, but this one turned out to be disappointing. The romance had no spark. Cordie was the beautiful heroine who doesn't know that she is beautiful. She believes that Aiden could never love her, so she tries to distance herself. Aiden's character felt like a historical character in a business suit. He was domineering...telling (ordering) Cordie to do what he says instead of discussing it. I was hoping for much more with this pair.

The suspense was nearly non-existent. The revelation early in the book that Cordie's mother was alive was interesting. Her search was quick, but her plan when she found her was flawed. It wasn't hard to figure out who was behind the threats to Cordie. I felt like the author phoned this one in. My rating: 3 Stars.
