ONE LAST PROMISE By Susan May Warren, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

"My daughter has been kidnapped. And I need your help to get her back."

After weeks of wondering where Tillie Young had disappeared to, Moose Mulligan finds the woman who had him daydreaming about the future on the doorstep of his home; bruises and a split lip marring her lovely face. Of course Moose and Alaska Air One Rescue team members are going to help Tillie, it's what they do best. Wait a minute . . . did she say daughter???

Moose has no idea what kind of trouble Tillie has gotten herself into, but he is fairly certain that she is holding back, not everything about her explanation is adding up . . . still, Moose goes out on a limb and makes Tillie a promise, "We'll get her back". His heart has sought out Tillie for months now, but it has become increasingly clear that she is carting around a boatload of baggage and her stubborn self-reliance isn't leaving much room for faith.

But a promise is a promise. (And . . . "the answer is always pie".)

Filled with a treasure trove of inspirational truths, ("you can't fight without the armor of God", "none of us deserve grace . . . but when we get it, we pass it along") this story begins in the fast lane, races down the straightaway in the blink of an eye, and crosses the finish line with a mere touch of the brakes. . . . thankfully, and perhaps more importantly, it also takes the time for hearts to heal, faith to grow, and love to bloom.

BackCover Blurb:
Moose (Arlo) Mulligan's biggest grief propelled him into the world of Search and Rescue. After years as a former Navy Rescue Chopper pilot, he returned home to start Air One Rescue—and made a name for himself. He loves his job, his life, and his routines…which include breakfast at the Skyport, at the table of Tillie Young. She’s sweet, and pretty, but Moose has no room in his life for anything more.

And then, Tillie shows up, beaten and desperate…and needs his help.

Tillie Young never thought her ex would track her to Alaska—but somehow he’s found her, and when he kidnaps her daughter, she’ll do anything to get her back. Even enlist help from her favorite grumpy rescuer at table three, Moose Mulligan.

But Moose is no match for a former MMA boxer, and possible child trafficker, right?

Maybe, maybe not, but he’s not going to let another child go missing on his watch. Worse—when Moose finds himself accused as the kidnapper, there’s no way back. Now, he must find the girl, keep Tillie safe and outwit a man fueled by revenge. It will take all of Moose’s Alaskan savvy to protect them, and keep them alive…but who is going to protect him from the love he never saw coming?

Set in the treacherous Alaskan backwoods, it's a heart-pounding tale of survival, love, and the family Moose never anticipated.
