Sandra Nicholson is the mother of two sons, Kevin "Kidd" and Aaron "Ace" Jamieson. Their father

never married their mother but insisted on his sons carrying his last name. Kidd is full of anger and resentment towards his father. Kidd and Ace are searched out by a cousin, Cameron after performing genealogy research. Kidd was reluctant at first. He slowly came around. Cameron introduced his brothers, Parke and Malcolm whom came with a proposition for Kidd. After a tragedy, Kidd accepted the proposition. What will become of the agreement?

Guilty by Association was thrilling. You witness how an absent father could affect young boys. I enjoyed watching Kidd's transformation. The characters mesh well together. Pat Simmons did an excellent job of introducing the characters. I'm looking forward to the next installment. If you're one who enjoys excitement, this is the book for you!
