Hezekiah "Hez" Webster and his fiancé, Savannah, stand on the brink of a new life, but their dreams are haunted by specters of the past. Just as they're getting ready to adopt her nephew, two other petitioners also file for custody--both of whom only want Simon for their own gains.
Between the financial company that Hez outmaneuvered to save the university from ruin and the bad blood from the head of the Willard family, it's hard to say who wants them out of the way more. Hez and Savannah's quest for justice leads them through a labyrinth of family law, where loyalties are tested and trust is a dangerous luxury when every decision could be their last.
With the clock ticking, Hez and Savannah must confront the ghosts of their past and their deepest fears to secure a future for Simon. But with every secret revealed, the stakes grow higher. Can they build the family they've always dreamed of, or will their enemies succeed in tearing them apart forever?

My Review
This book really takes up where the previous book left off, and I do think you could read this alone, you would miss the some key points.
Feuds and greed, long, long standing, and sadly the loss of life, and no one is really safe.
For some the pain never leaves, it may let up, and there is great faith here, but horrible revelations come to light!
There is to be a wedding, and obstacles keep falling, there is also a darling little boy that sadly gets caught up in the terror that some are using to get their own way.
I hate that this series is ending, but I'll be on the lookout for more by these authors, always a good read!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
