Never Let Go

Never Let Go is a fast-paced tale by Elizabeth Goddard.  This pace starts from the first page when Willow Anderson, forensic genealogist, learns that her dear grandfather, JT Anderson, who raised her after her parents died, has unexpectedly died.  JT was simply out riding his bicycle!

Before Willow can deal with JT's death, she is awakened to the fact that their house is on fire and is burning down around her.  The next surprise Willow encounters is the entrance of ex-FBI agent, Austin McCade, her former boyfriend.  JT had invited Austin to join him on his latest project, to locate a girl stolen from her mother soon after her birth.  To complicate this job, the abduction took place over twenty years ago!

When Willow and Austin head out to Wyoming to follow a piece of evidence, they have no idea where this thread will lead.  Not only do they find they are a step closer to finding this missing child, but Austin is forced to deal with some ugly truths about the life he has tried to leave behind!

This book was hard to put down until I could put all the pieces of this story together!
