Summary of All for Hope by Olivia Hardin 

To protect her heart, he left her behind. To protect her life, he’ll leave the life he's made behind. Sometimes the safest distance between two hearts is no distance at all…

Kidnapping a baby wasn’t something Hope ever dreamed she would do. But she’s been burned by the legal system before, so when the court places her friend’s child into the custody of an abuser, she takes matters into her own hands. She steals the baby and fakes her death, hoping to make a clean getaway. She planned every detail, except one. Her high school sweetheart and best friend, who left her years before, sees her at a gas station. Hope thinks all is lost, until he offers to help them. Brennan had always been the love of Hope’s life, but he never wanted to be. She knows she cannot depend on him for long. However, as each day passes, it becomes painfully obvious that she is in way over her head. She goes with him, intending to keep him always an arm’s length away to protect her heart. But being on the run together sparks the old flames that once burned between Brennan and Hope. Families, friends, and lovers must band together to save an innocent baby and a daring woman or both of their lives will be destroyed.

Together, they’ll do it All for Hope…



Excerpt from All for Hope by Olivia Hardin 

Brennan nearly jumped out of his skin when the doorbell jolted him from sleep. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock, realizing it must be Mark Terrance. When he opened the door, the man looked at him with a bit of a smirk on his face.

"Were you sleeping?" he asked.

Bren touched his face and he could feel the indentations left by the pillow on which he’d been laying. "Just a nap," he replied and motioned Mark inside.

"Now, what is it you have of Hope’s?" Terrance inquired, wasting no time.

"Sit down." Brennan gestured to the couch. "Would you like anything to drink, Mr. Terrance?"

"Call me Mark, and no, I just want to know what all this is about."

"Last night I was in Houston, and I ran into Hope at a service station."

Mark's face paled. He closed his eyes a moment and took a deep breath. "She spoke to you?"

"Yes, I ran her down when I recognized her. She begged me not to tell anyone I saw her, but something told me when I read about that letter in the paper that you knew she was still alive."

"I knew," the man answered.

"Do you have the letter? Can I read it?"

Mark studied him a moment.

"Please." Brennan begged when he saw the hesitation. "I don't want to do anything to hurt her."

"The cops have the actual letter, but I made a copy before I let them have it. Here." He pulled the folded note from his wallet.
