How much would you risk to protect your child? A year after her husband's death, Maura Anderson's adopted three-year-old daughter, Katie, is her whole world, and she'll do anything to keep her safe. So when she finds out Katie's adoption make not be legal and the court threatens to take Katie from her, she does what any mother would do. She runs. The small town of Wyattville, Washington, seems like the perfect place to hide . . . until she meets Alan Parks. Drawn to the one man who could ruin everything, Maura's determined to keep her distance from the town's sheriff, who sees the law as black-and-white. Her life-and Katie's-depends on it. But, captivated by the beautiful woman full of secrets, Alan is determined to win her over-and find out what she's hiding. And when he discovers the truth, not only is Maura's daughter at risk, but so is her heart.
