Fearing for her son even more than herself, Audrey Cole takes Samuel with her when she runs away from her abusive spouse Jonathan, who has powerful friends that protect him. Worried for Audrey as he is very attracted to her, attorney Nicholas Wakefield tracks down Audrey, but his actions inadvertently lead Jonathan to his wife.

Jonathan kidnaps Samuel to force Audrey to return to him where he plans to teach her a lesson for her transgression; no one walks out on him without regretting the aftermath. Nick feels guilty for bringing the serpent with him. He plans to help Audrey regain her son and keep her safe from her monster of a husband.

Though mindful of Sleeping with the Enemy except with a child involved, A YEAR AND A DAY is a tense romantic suspense thriller starring a courageous lead female willing to do anything, including entering hell to keep her son safe. Nick is loaded with remorse because he now realizes what he has wrought when he searched and found Audrey. He knows first hand how the road to hell is paved with good intentions and wants to make amends, but has no idea how, except to risk the brave woman he loves. Inglath Cooper writes a powerful tale.
