Nikki Truman triumphed over a childhood of abuse with her spirit intact. She has a happy disposition and an incredible determination to make both her and her brother's lives as normal as she possibly can. Hired on as Rory McNiel's housekeeper and cook, she's well on her way to making that happen.
Changing Rory's "couch potato" ways and his unhealthy eating habits are a snap compared to over-hauling his damaged self-esteem. However, when Rory's mother sees Nikki cooking her way into her son's heart, battle lines are drawn.
Nikki knows a dark secret stands in the way of her bright future and her growing love for Rory. That secret doesn't want to be kept in the closet-in fact, it is practically on her doorstep. It won't rest until it has claimed her brother, but Nikki will do anything to protect Casey. Anything by justifiable means.
Reviews-
"I am a fan of LDS romantic fiction and this book was great. This is the first of Shannon Guymon's books that I have read and I am anxious to read more of her work. Justifiable Means had my interest from the first page. I couldn't put it down."
"The book portrayed some of the troubles our children face today in broken homes and abusive situations. It showed the courage children have to make life better for themselves."
"Shannon Guymon’s third novel is her best yet...Although LDS romances tend to follow a predictable path, Sister Guymon has managed, as always, to avoid that trap and has created a book that leaves you breathless as you follow Nikki through the challenges of untangling her life. The climax is a chilling glimpse at the world of evil. The background story adds powerful depth to the romance, making it a pleasure for any fiction reader."
