This is the first book I've read by Brenda Novak. I enjoyed it. Cora was adopted, and thru a PI, finds her Mom. Her Mom owns a school for troubled kids, so Cora gets a job there so she can secretly get to know her Mom. The relationship between Eli & Cora goes a little too fast but it is a Harlequin. I was surprised to finally learn why the Mom gave up Cora. The book ended quick but a great set up for book 2.
