Roxi Gold has been shuttled from one foster home to another for most her life. She longs for a family and will do anything to fit in even if it's against the law. Soon she's traveling the country in an RV, stealing rare books from unsuspecting bookstores. She knows it's wrong, but if she refuses, she'll be put out on the streets.Police officer Abby Dawson has seen the worst of society, and not just at work. Her ex-husband wrested her daughter away from her in a bitter custody battle. The job she once loved has become a chore, the world isn't any safer, and there's no joy in her life.
One fateful night a man's innocent blood changes both Roxi's and Abby's lives forever. One searches for justice; the other finds herself on the run until a first edition of The Great Gatsby catches up with her. Will the power of forgiveness set them free, or will they both remain bound by guilt?
MY Thoughts: I'm not going to run my mouth today because I don't have time. All you need to know is top-notch storytelling will have you riveted to your chair. My only quibble is the ending seem to come together to neatly, but overall the story is good! I still can't believe this is only C.J Darlington's second book. Wow!

I can't wait for her third book.
Loved CJ's first book but haven't gotten to this one yet.
Hope all is well with you, CeeCee...I've not been around the net as much as I have been in the past but wanted to stop in and say "HEY"! *hugs*
