Captain Michael Kirkland of the United States Army has entered a point in his life when he feels the need to re-examine what he really wants to do with his life. In order to have a clear head while he makes this decision he takes a six month leave of absence from his current position and moves to Washington D.C. His first night as a civilian, he has the privilege of having the most beautiful woman as his companion at a birthday celebration for one of his friend’s mother. Her beauty and wit captures his heart from the start and he decides that she is the one he will court and protect for the rest of his life.

Jolene Walker has devoted her life to providing a safe haven for women of domestic violence. She spends most of her time at the Sanctuary where women of all age groups and nationalities seek comfort and a means to rebuilding their lives. She has not spent time with anyone special in a long time and is wary of the time Michael wants to spend with her. It’s not that she doesn’t want to spend time with him it’s just that it’s hard for her to start a relationship with someone after her first marriage was short lived because she had placed the love of her sister before her husband.

Jolene wants to take her time in building a relationship with Michael, while his thoughts are to show her that she is the one he needs to complete his life. As the story unfolds Jolene’s life is threatened and Michael becomes her knight is shining armor. The two of them learn to trust each other as Michael helps to uncover the culprit that is stalking Jolene.

This is the eighth book in the "HIDEAWAY Legacy Series", and it is filled with plenty of romance and suspense. The relationship shared between these two people is what true love is all about and as Rochelle has done in the past, the story is written to attract and hold your attention from the first page to the last.
