Sanctuary by Tracie Hunter Abramson

About “Santuary”

Kristi Hartinger has come to terms with her life as a single, thirty-something woman. She was in love . . . once. But following her boyfriend’s tragic death, no one else could capture her heart. And nothing else could fill that void, though the serenity of the ocean came close. Two years ago, Kristi left the craziness of her Wall Street career behind and embraced a simpler life on her family’s private island off the coast of Maine. As a resident of the small beach community, she anticipates a quiet future—until she comes face-to-face with her past. Ace Samson is dead, or so the world believes. As a member of a secret organization known as the guardians, he was forced to fake his death years ago, leaving everything behind when he became an agent. So when he is selected to offer a potential new recruit a job with the organization, Ace braces himself: for the first time in more than a decade, he must face the woman he loved—and left. Kristi’s world is rocked by Ace’s sudden reappearance, and she’s soon drawn into his world of danger and cover-up. But when Kristi herself becomes a target, Ace will do whatever it takes to protect the only woman he has ever loved.

My Review

I love Traci Abramson and I love how many of her characters in other novels weave their ways into each other. This story about Ace and Kristi is a tale of love, love lost, loves return and new beginnings. Traci is an excellent suspense novelist who can twist a tale in a way that has you turning the pages and savoring every word. While Kristi and Ace were young they fell in love and hoped to be together forever but one tragic night that all changed. Now 20 years later the past comes back in an unexpected way that starts the roller coaster events that both bring and tear this couple apart.
