Harper Cloud has repeatedly made the same mistake - trusting men who don't have her best interest at heart. Instead of seeing her as a person they've merely seen her as a decorative accessory. When her last boyfriend helped her land a stint in prison and ended her dreams of being a nurse she promised herself never again would she trust a man and his promises.
Derrick seems different - caring about her safety, offering her a job as a caretaker for his grandfather. But trust isn't easy for Harper to give at least not anymore. But when she feels as if danger has come too close for comfort she agrees to head east and care for Red. Leaving behind a stalker is worth putting a little trust in Derrick and he seems to have her best interests at heart for a change.
All too soon Harper finds herself getting to know Derrick and something has changed. Could she have once again made a mistake? Or is she just projecting her past experiences onto what could possibly be her best chance at remaking her life and regaining the respect she lost?
Beauty in Flight is an intriguing first book of a three book series in which Harper has to make some serious decisions that could be the making of her or completely shatter what is left of her life. And believe me, you'll want to have book 2 on hand as this one will most definitely leave you in suspense. Say cliffhanger!
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I offer my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book:
Her beauty once opened doors, but the felony conviction slams them shut.
Harper Cloud used to love the gilded glamour of Las Vegas, but on the far side of prison, she sees the cracks in the veneer. These days, she keeps her head down and focuses on the elderly patients in her care. Even her new wealthy east-coast boyfriend, Derrick, can't entice her away. She's trusted men before, and look where that got her.
She tries to brush off the feeling that she's being watched. But when she's followed home one night and her pursuer gets within a hair's breadth of grabbing her, she knows it's time to get away from Las Vegas.
Maybe Derrick can be trusted. Maybe his job offer—to care for his aging grandfather in Maryland—will be the second chance she needs.
But Derrick has secrets of his own, secrets that could take him down--and take Harper with him.
Can there be a second chance for someone like her?
