Under his protection and patient touch, Allie begins to heal and learns to hope. Colin’s no saint, though, and his criminal past draws danger of its own. Allie must fight to protect her child and the man she loves, hoping her newfound power will be enough to save them all.

RT Book Reviews gives Giving It Up 4.5 stars and says it’s “at once sad, scary and sexy in all the best ways.”

Shelly Laurent escapes her life as a high-class escort, but against her better judgment she takes the scared young Ella with her. She throws light on the shadows of Chicago’s underworld, challenging everything she knew and the man she’s come to love. Together, a prostitute and a cop fight for truth stronger than secrets, hope deeper than deception, and a bond more enduring than betrayal.

“One thing is for sure; Amber Lin drew me in with Giving It Up and became an auto-buy author with Selling Out. There is a uniqueness to her writing and her characters that will always make her stand out for me.” – Swept Away By Romance
