"Brooke Harmon is ready to end her brief affair. Gideon Ross is charming and sexy, but hes not worth throwing away everything she holds dear. So she breaks it off, hoping Gideon will understand. He doesnt. Gideon insists that he and Brooke are meant to be together. Finally, he backs off, but not before issuing a promise: hell never let her go. Little more than a year later, Brooke wants to believe its all behind her. Her family has survived intact. Gideon has vanished. But the fear hasnt disappeared. Brooke cant tell how much of it is paranoia, and how much is justified, but shes worried. And maybe shes right to be. Because Gideon is a man who keeps his promises . . ."-- Provided by publisher.
