When Gabriel and Julia Emerson first lay eyes on their newborn daughter, Clare, they realize life as they know it will never be the same. Gabriel has vowed to be a good father when he suddenly receives an invitation to give a series of lectures in Edinburgh, Scotland--an opportunity of high prestige--but that would mean leaving his wife and newborn child in Boston. Hesitant to bring it up, he keeps the opportunity from Julia as long as he can, not knowing she has a secret of her own.
When a frightening situation arises that threatens to break their new family apart, both parents must make sacrifices. With the family in danger, the looming question remains: Will Gabriel pursue his lectureship in Edinburgh, leaving Julia and Clare unprotected in Boston, or will he abandon the chance of a lifetime in order to ensure his family's safety?

There's nothing more exciting to be brought back into the world of Dante and Beatrice - also known as Professor Emerson and his Julia. Now, they have a beautiful baby girl, Clare. And there is nothing that Gabriel will do to protect his family.
Gabriel has a career opportunity of a lifetime that comes calling, shortly after Clare is born. But with Julia putting her career on hold for motherhood, Gabriel isn't sure he wants to rock the boat in their family moving them to Scotland. Plus, there are also mysterious threats towards the Emerson family.
It's always great to get more of this couple, but the extra drama probably wasn't necessary for this fourth book. But, I loved getting a glimpse of Gabriel as a doting father (we already know he's the perfect fictional husband!). The ending felt unfinished, unresolved with the mystery surrounding them. But overall, if are a fan of the Professor, then this read is not to be missed!
