Jonathon Stone has been alone since his mother died when he was a boy. The only spark of happiness in his life? His childhood best friend, Hannah. When he sets out to empty the coffers of The West Hotel, he never expects to find her there, and he never anticipated taking her hostage… Holed up together in a remote cabin, will old sparks be enough to bring Jonathon back to life? Or will the man he has become break Hannah’s heart all over again? The Arms of a Stranger is the third story in the Brides of Adoration series.
