The First Time I Saw Him
"Five years after her husband Owen disappeared, Hannah Hall and her stepdaughter Bailey have settled into a new life in Southern California. Together, they've forged a relationship with Bailey's grandfather Nicholas and are putting the past behind them. But when Owen shows up at Hannah's new exhibition, she knows that she and Bailey are in danger again. Hannah and Bailey are forced to go on the run in a relentless race to keep their past from catching up with them. As a thrilling drama unfolds, Hannah risks everything to get Bailey to safety--and finds there just might be a way back to Owen and their long-awaited second chance"-- Provided by publisher.

Ratings and reviews
An excellent conclusion to the first book. Held my attention all the way through and gave some answers to questions that I had . I also liked that we got to see how Bailey and Hannah had been living in the aftermath of what happened and even how Owen had been surviving on his own. There are still some loose ends and I would have liked more between Hannah and Owen at the end which is why I gave this four instead of five stars - but still a good read.
