About this listen

Sunday Times bestselling author Nora Roberts returns with a brand-new standalone novel—a story about the power of love to light a way through the darkness.

When he was nine, and his mother had her first deadly dance with cancer, Harry became a thief. Someone had to find food and pay the mortgage even if his mother was too sick to work. When his mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but somehow he can't quite leave all of his past behind.

Harry lives a quiet, careful, rootless life—he can't afford to attract attention or get attached—until he meets Miranda. But just when Harry thinks he has a chance at happiness his old life comes back to haunt him. Harry has had dealings with some bad people in his past but none more dangerous than Carter LaPorte and Harry is forced to run. But no matter what name he uses or where he goes, Harry cannot escape. If he is ever going to feel safe, Harry must face down his enemy once and for all.

Only then can he hope to possess something more valuable than anything he has ever stolen.

thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended. Well thought out plot. Sophisticated, funny, a much better book than many from this author.

Excellent

…. the romantic conversations were too slushy for my taste and I thought the sex scenes were unnecessarily long and detailed.

It was a good story and didn’t need that level of detail. There are romance books for those who like that kind of thing. I felt myself cringe at until those bits passed.

Great believable characters and ok a good romance or two was in there. I’d like to see these characters back for a second book - but without unnecessary slush.

Great narration - a few dodgy accents but forgivable as there were a lot of them.

Very enjoyable but ..,,

Story, engaging characters and engrossing storyline. Al the characters were well drawn and the more minor characters were as enjoyable and believable as the central two. I thought the narration excellent and it added greatly to the story. I couldn’t stop listening but also didn’t want it to end

Another great Nora Roberts

I thoroughly enjoyed this Women's Fiction novel. The story is about Harry, a little boy who has a hard childhood as his mother was very sick, and he had to help her to pay the bills and buy food for them. To do this, he became a thief. After a big loss, he moved away and travelled around, continuing with his nightwork (thieving). Later, he also held a normal job too, and had a love life. We are shown him as a young boy, growing up into a man, and it was really interesting to read about his life. I liked him, even though I didn't always agree with the things he done.

The writing in the book is superb. Nora always writes wonderfully, and her stories and characters are always engaging and adventurous.

I loved this book and recommend it highly!

Great
