Publisher's Synopsis
Tricia has heard of "true love." She knows what that is. It's the start of a good scam. She's pulled off a few scams of her own. But they're never enough. She has Timmy to take care of. And a habit or two to support. Andy McCrae sees the young woman in short shorts, selling flowers on the street. Then her six-year-old son catches Andy's attention. Is she taking care of the boy? Can she possibly take care of him? Can Andy help? Should he? How far is too far when it comes to helping people in need? Andy doesn't trust Tricia. But he decides to help her anyway. She might be involved in something illegal, voluntarily or otherwise. But she's not a character in one of the suspense thrillers Andy writes. She's strictly small time, as far as he can tell. And she has that little boy. He needs something. A father? Maybe even a mother. And what's in it for Andy? A rich and successful author, he's admittedly lonely. Is that his motivation? Or is it bigger than that? Is it real, self-sacrificing love? Or is his offer of help part of a scam? Tricia thinks so.
