This is Jaclyn M. Hawkes 3rd novel and the 1st one of hers I've read. I was pleasantly suprised!
The main
character, Kelly Campbell, is a nurse in her early twenties. Something illegal
is going on in the hospital where she works and when she is caught looking at
some files she inadvertently stumbled upon, she ends up staging her own death
in order to stay alive. Leaving everything behind, she flees Chicago on the back of a borrowed motorcycle,
dressed completely in leather, her bright auburn hair tucked securely under a
helmet.
From the back cover:
"When
the weather turned cold, she turned south. She ended up in North Carolina, home to one of
the most famed and eligible NFL football stars in the whole league; only Kelly
didn't know that. She thought he was a businessman. Not being a huge fan all
she knew was that he was incredibly attractive, kind, generous, and that she was safe with him. Or was she?
His brand of fame proved to be all but deadly; but his fame wasn't nearly as lethal as his attraction. He kept her safe and protected. All except her heart."
The Most Important Catch, was enjoyable, well-written, suspenseful, romantic, and a clean read. My kind of book!
Jaclyn grew up in Utah
with 6 sisters, 4 brothers and any number of pets. (It was never
boring!) She received a Bachelor’s degree, had a career, and
traveled extensively before settling down to her life’s work of being the
mother of four magnificent and sometimes challenging children. She
loves shellfish, the outdoors, the youth, and hearing her children
laugh. She and her fine husband, their family, and their sometimes very
large pets, now live in a mountain valley in northern Utah, where it smells like heaven and kids
still move sprinkler pipe.
