Sweet One

Sweet One

Cash is alive.But who knows how bad he's hurt.There was an explosion, and he won't wake up.It's the phone call the any Titan wife dreads, and the one that brings Nicola Garrison to her knees in tears. Crying and praying for Cash to wake up, she has one secret to tell him and now it might be too late. "I'm pregnant. You're going to be a daddy." Practicing the words a million times didn't matter if he wasn't coming home from his job.In her rush to save him, she lets down her guard. One slip. One tiny mistake. That is all it takes to let years of protecting her identity fall apart. Her time in witness protection, then at the CIA is called into question by someone who has the power to end her life--and the baby she's carrying.As the game of shadows and spooks, mobsters and goons comes back to hunt Nicola, survival takes on new meaning--protecting her baby, her husband, and her life--forcing her to make a choice that would kill her anyway in the end.
