A friend (MH) sent me this book in a box of books. I don't recall reading this author or this series before.
I think it is hard to do justice to both suspense and romance in a page count of Love Inspired--so the stories seem to work best in cases where the main couple has a past history--which this book does. It seems that lets the author focus more on the suspense part of the story while it not being so unbelievable that the main characters would rekindle their romance.
I suspected what they would find out about Mark's work but I didn't suspect the money part of it.
