Who knows the truth about her family? Who wants to keep her past hidden forever? Caitlin Prescott was only a baby when her parents disappeared. Adopted by a wealthy Texas oil family, she became Kate Montgomery, and grew up with no memory of her parents or her two older sisters and brother, who have been searching for her, hoping to right a terrible wrong that was committed twenty-two years ago in a small Texas town. Now an ambitious young news reporter, Kate realizes she is being stalked soon after landing her dream job at an Austin TV station. Why did a car try to run her down? Who would want to kill her? Turning her precarious situation into a story, she takes on a bodyguard and follows him on the job. But she didn't plan on the cool, blade-sharp strength of Teague Ramos or the attraction that sizzles between them. When Teague connects the death of an Austin socialite to unanswered questions about Kate's childhood, she finds herself unlocking dangerous doors to her past. Now, with only her mysterious bodyguard to protect her, Kate is on a high-stakes chase that may lead her to the family she has never known or into the trap of a ruthless killer.

19/6 - This is another 'quick read, review and redonate' romance that I picked up at my library's used booksale. I didn't bother to look at the synopsis as I know Christina Dodd's books pretty well, well her romance books that is. If I'd taken five seconds to read the synopsis I might have realised ...
This is a really sweet romance between Kate and Teague. The mystery of the four orphans keeps the pages turning swiftly. The culprit is truly a surprise and of course, gets his in the end. I didn't know that Christina Dodd even wrote romantic suspense...and rather well too! Her other romances are...
I really did not care for Caitlin. Story wasn't all that interesting, although I thought it would be since it was about the long, lost sibling. Sadly, because I loved the first two books in the series. She did not have the emotional depth as her sisters, Hope and Pepper. Teague was a hottie, thoug...
Finally! Many of the answers I wanted are revealed in this story. It must be weird suddenly finding out you have other siblings and how your parents were wronged. You weren't given up for adoption, you were stolen from your family. Poor Kate. The romantic interest was sweet here. Nice little bi...
