LoveReading Says
Rooted in relationships, and the need to feel rooted and find the light of love, Nightwork by Nora Roberts is one for readers who like fast-moving page-turners with heart. If you’re new to the author, the fact this is a standalone novel makes it the ideal route into her best-selling brand of suspenseful romance.
At the tender age of nine, Harry “learned the hard way that playing by the rules as his mother had didn’t mean much to the suits and ties and briefcases”. So, he learned how to pick pockets, discovering that “the right and wrong his mom had so carefully taught him didn’t mean much when she was puking in the bathroom after her chemo”.
A criminal with a code of conduct (he only takes what he needs), Harry adopts a new identity when he leaves his home city. While keeping up with his nightwork, he gets himself an education and falls for Miranda, just as his past comes snapping at his heels.
While some of Harry’s decisions will have you yelling at the page, urging him to take a different path, the escalating tension and sense of being given a second chance make this a super-satisfying, romantic ride.

Nightwork Synopsis
Sunday Times bestselling author Nora Roberts returns with a brand new standalone novel - a story about the power of love to light a way through the darkness
When he was nine, and his mother had her first deadly dance with cancer, Harry became a thief. Someone had to find food and pay the mortgage even if his mother was too sick to work. When his mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but somehow he can't quite leave all of his past behind.
Harry lives a quiet, careful, rootless life - he can't afford to attract attention or get attached - until he meets Miranda. But just when Harry thinks he has a chance at happiness his old life comes back to haunt him. Harry has had dealings with some bad people in his past but none more dangerous than Carter LaPorte and Harry is forced to run. But no matter what name he uses or where he goes, Harry cannot escape. If he is ever going to feel safe Harry must face down his enemy once and for all.
Only then can he hope to possess something more valuable than anything he has ever stolen.
