paced romance-suspense. From the first page, I was drawn into a range of emotions involving the mysterious kidnapping of Sash Adams, an unemployed law school graduate, and her younger brother. Laced with intrigue, adversity and the dynamics of a forced partnership, questions

continue to arise concerning the kidnapping and ransom demand. The big question is whether Adams' barely school age brother, whom she calls "Sweet", will be returned alive. There are plenty of twists and turns, surprises and challenges as Sweet Sacrifice tugs at your
