Thicker Than Blood

Although raised in the lap of luxury, Naomi Porter''s life had been far from charmed. Motherless since the age of two, she was accustomed to being shunned by her family and brutalized by her father. But it wasn''t until the age of fifteen, when she dared to believe in love, that her real problems began. After being betrayed and rendered homeless, Naomi finds herself on a lonely road that she is sure will only lead to more disappointment. Then, like an angel from heaven, appears Edward Morton, extending a helping hand. But unbeknownst to Naomi, Edward has an agenda of his own. Edward despises the Porters, especially Naomi''s father, Adam. And Adam feels the same way about Edward. When the two men begin to lash out at each other, Naomi is caught in the middle of a vicious battle that will cause lives to be lost, and her sanity to be threatened.
