Her beauty once opened doors, but the felony conviction slams them shut. Harper Cloud used to love the gilded glamour of Las Vegas, but on the far side of prison, she sees the cracks in the veneer. These days, she keeps her head down and focuses on the elderly patients in her care. Even her new wealthy east-coast boyfriend, Derrick, can’t entice her away. She’s trusted men before, and look where … trusted men before, and look where that got her.
She tries to brush off the feeling that she’s being watched. But when she’s followed home one night and her pursuer gets within a hair’s breadth of grabbing her, she knows it’s time to get away from Las Vegas.
Maybe Derrick can be trusted. Maybe his job offer—to care for his aging grandfather in Maryland—will be the second chance she needs.
But Derrick has secrets of his own, secrets that could take him down–and take Harper with him.
Can there be a second chance for someone like her?

Robin Patchen has done an excellent job of creating a protagonist that you root for and a book you don’t want to put down. You will sympathize with the character’s struggle to move beyond her past and will love the backbone she displays in difficult situations. She puts her heroine in real life predicaments and doesn’t shirk from the tough issues. The suspense twist comes at you hard and when you don’t expect it. I look forward to reading the rest of the series! Thanks for another great story, Robin!
It was awssome. Great page turner. Can’t wait to read the next one.
This book wasn’t great! Love the characters I have no idea where this is going. I’ll have to find the second book.
Harper Cloud went to prison for two years, she got involved with the wrong man and paid dearly. She’s out of prison, living in Las Vegas when she meets a man that seems trustworthy. She used to love Las Vegas, but when Derrick offers her a job caring for his elderly grandfather, she agrees to move across the country to care for Red Burns. It turns out that Derrick Burns isn’t the man she thought he was either, he’s suddenly pressuring her for a closer relationship she isn’t ready for, and she learns he has a problem. After she is attacked in a parking lot, and dead bodies show up in Red’s home, she decides that not only is her life in danger, but Red is most likely a target as well.
Well written and unique characters in a plot that is interesting, exciting, and has surprising twists in the plot. This one kept me guessing, I loved it. Fantastic book.
A young woman’s struggle to establish a new life after her prison release. She has to learn how to trust people again.
Very interesting story with lots of twists and turns. About an LPN that makes some bad choices. After spending a couple years in prison for something she didn’t do, she wants to change her behaviour and make better choices. Remember what they say about best played plans? This is the first book in a series so yes you will want to read the next one.
I am enjoying reading this inspirational faith book. It is a good story that keeps you interested in what will happen to Harper as she explores her relationship with God.
The story started with a bang and kept my interest until the end. It ends abruptly with not a single loose end tied up. There’s great character building and the book itself was good. I was looking forward to seeing how everything was resolved by the end. You have to buy the next book to find out anything at all. I am so spoiled by writers having stand alone books in their book series. I never suspected that I was coming to the end of the book until the last page and was very disappointed.
I enjoyed the books, but frustrated that I had to buy 3 books to finish the story.
A well written book with realistic characters. I didn’t want to put the book down. The story got me hooked and I wanted to see what would happen next. Look forward to reading the book
I was captivated, then disappointed to learn I had to buy the sequel to find out how it ends. Original plot.
No resolution. You have to read the next book. But worth it.
Good story, but it had a cliff hanger ending. Need to read the second book.
I loved the book up until the end. I hate endings that don’t happen and are extended to the next book!!
I enjoyed reading A Beauty in Flight. It’s about choices made and the consequences of those choices. Harper has made some bad choices and is trying to move away and on. Can she? Already I’m looking forward to reading the next book to see what happens.
Wished it didn’t end.
This was my first book by Robin Patchen, but not my last! The main character, Harper, is so very interesting. The reader can hardly wait to see what’s happening next. The book is finished before I want it to be.
This is the first of a three book series. Immediately upon finishing this book, I bought the other two in the series. I bet you will too!
I hope you enjoy Harper’s faith filled journey as much as I did. Happy reading!
Exciting story. Not happy with the way it ended, but a good story. Suspenseful, murder.
Brilliant series. Well developed characters. I read all three books in one week. Real page turner. This was the first I have read of Robin Patchen, I will be looking for more of her books.
Great suspense story that spans several states. Just don’t start it unless you get all three books in the series and read them in order. It is really one story and the books wouldn’t stand alone as well independently. Besides that, Books 1 and 2 leave you hanging at the end.
