Back cover:
Who was Travis Stone?
Every Christmas he wondered. This year, his life depended on finding out. Armed with nothing more than vague memories and a grainy old photo of an infant, he sought his real parents.

Instead, on a snowy Maryland street, he found Erin Morgan.

But this wasn't the Erin he remembered. Her eyes were haunted, and her arms reached out for him. Once they had shared a love - but that love was now forbidden. For everywhere Travis searched he found dead ends - and dead men...

For Travis, Erin was his Christmas miracle. But now he'd placed her in danger... and there could be no silent night, no peace on earth, until he made her safe again.

"[Rebecca York's] books. . . deliver what they promise: excitement, mystery, romance. . ."
- Michael Dirda, Washington Post

The first of her Berkley Sensation paranormal romantic suspense novels, KILLING MOON, was published in June 2003; EDGE OF THE MOON followed in August 2003 and WITCHING MOON in October 2003. KILLING MOON and EDGE OF THE MOON were launch books for the Berkley Sensation imprint.

She writes the popular 43 Light Street series for Harlequin Intrigue. Over 30 Light Street Intrigues have been published. NOWHERE MAN was called "one of the most heart-wrenching, moving works of romantic suspense in several years," by reviewer Harriet Klausner.

Ruth's many awards include two Rita finalist books. She has two Career Achievement awards from Romantic Times: for Series Romantic Suspense and Series Romantic Mystery. NOWHERE MAN was the Romantic Times Best Intrigue of 1998, and the book has been selected as one of their Reviewers' "all-time favorite 400 romances." In addition, she received the 1998 Affaire de Coeur's Critics Choice Award for Best Contemporary Novel, also for NOWHERE MAN. Ruth's book, KILLING MOON won the 2003 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award for best Paranormal. AMANDA'S CHILD won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for Long Contemporary and was nominated for Best Intrigue of 2000 by Romantic Times. "Tyler" in BAYOU BLOOD BROTHERS won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for best Novella. In 2007 THE SECRET NIGHT received the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for best Harlequin Intrigue. Ruth's cookbook, 100% PLEASURE, was picked by USA Today as one of the 12 best cookbooks of 1994; her FABULOUS LO-CARB CUISINE was a finalist for the MidAtlantic Publishers Association's Excellence in Independent Publishing Award.

Several of Ruth's Moon books (WITCHING MOON, SHADOW OF THE MOON, and NEW MOON) have been on the USA Today best-seller list.

Ruth and her husband travel frequently to research settings for novels and taste new dishes for cookbooks. Her many unique experiences are apt to end up in her books--like the time she encountered a coral snake in the Guatemalan jungle or took a flight in a hot air balloon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winning more than losing, April 1, 2007

rampant reader "dxystar" (Newton, KS USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What Child is This? (43 Light Street, No. 8 / Harlequin Intrigue, No. 253) (Mass Market Paperback)

Erin works at an agency that attempts to unite adoptees with their birth parents and, returning to work one night, is brutally attacked, drugged, transported to a decaying boathouse, and almost killed. Travis is a professional athlete who needs to find his birth family in hopes of getting a match for a bone marrow transplant to cure his leukemia. The plot does involve Travis succeeding but doing so in spite of his birth father, now famous and a pillar of the community who does not want his past to catch up with him. There is more to it than that but I don't want to spoil it for the readers. Travis and Erin fall in love of course, conveniently for Erin's son who is one of Travis's biggest fans. The working out of the plot spreads to an entire community and a former home for unwed mothers with some shady administrators and downright no-goodniks. You will like this read, one of the 43 Light Street series, as York does not disappoint.
