Never Been This Close To Crazy - 9781733974608

Utterly compelling... - Robert Dugoni, International Best-Selling Author of The Tracy Crosswhite Series. Like most musicians, Alex Hill needed a job. Becoming a police officer wasn't exactly what he had in mind, but it paid the bills in the quaint seaside town of Edmonds, Washington where he and his wife, Holly, homeschooled their five children. After 9-11, Alex was thrust mid-career to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force as Holly became increasingly unstable until she abandoned the family, leaving Alex to juggle raising the children on his own with the demands of a high-stress job, all while wondering if he could ever find love again. When Alex met Nikki Myers, a successful, fun-loving but serious-minded HR professional with a short to-do list, a love of the underdog, and no children, Alex expected the budding relationship didn't stand a chance. Nikki surprised even herself as she quickly fell in love with a man who didn't exactly meet her normal criteria for a lover: a financially unstable guy with five kids, no car, a "difficult" relationship with his ex-wife, and a secretive occupation which drives him daily to danger. What surprised her, even more, was seeing how far Nikki was willing to go to protect this man and his children. But just long could she keep her own secret operation under wraps? Never Been This Close To Crazy captures an inside look at the challenge of a single dad balancing police work and family life while facing unimaginable obstacles to falling in love. It speaks to the impact of living with an unhinged family member while also considering the challenges of fathers facing a court system favorable to mothers. It addresses the intricate realities and rewards of brave, loving women who accept the challenge of entering the risky realm of a broken family. And it gives hope to men who, despite the odds, persevere in taking the high road for the sake of their children. Because even the best of us can get a little crazy, right?
