For the first time in paperback, New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels presents the compelling tale of two strangers thrown together in a desperate race to save an innocent child. To Manhattan editor Dani Arnold, it might have sounded like something out of a novel. But when she impulsively comes to the aid of a lost child, she finds herself plunged into a mystery more dangerous than anything on the city streets–with an enigmatic stranger who threatens everything she believes in…yet fascinates her in a way no other man ever has. Dr. Alex Mendenares will do anything to keep his daughter safe. Anything except reveal the potentially devastating secret that has been guarded by his family for centuries. But he never bargained on meeting someone like Dani Arnold, who instantly captures his little girl's heart–and lights an unexpected spark in his own. Now, against the most deadly odds, Alex must place his trust in a woman he barely knows…but would like to know much better.
