**This Volume contains EP1 & EP 2 of Book 2 which were previously published separately. Just as Franny is settling into her new home and growing comfortable with her new family, her world is shaken when her biological father shows up at the foster house. Touting proof that he is, indeed, Franny’s father – while claiming he’d known nothing of her abuse by her mother – he insists on full custody of the young girl. Max and Horatio are devasted over losing their new daughter – and heartbroken, knowing that Franny doesn’t want to leave them. Both men develop an uneasy feeling about the girl’s father who “appears” to be a good man… on the surface. Horatio questions their emotions, uncertain if their gut feelings are authentic—or if they’re simply resentful of the man for taking away their little girl. But when Franny is suddenly taken by child services before the matter of her custody is resolved, Horatio and Max realize they should have heeded their feelings of unease as evidence arises suggesting that Franny’s removal from their home was, in fact, an abduction by her father.
