Six months ago, Alexander Cooke's life was wrecked.

His wife was killed, his workplace was robbed… and the evidence pointed to him. He saw one way out–he grabbed his daughter and ran. Now he's got a new life. Yet even with his new identity as Greg Bond, he's still looking over his shoulder. Still waiting for danger to reappear.

Then he meets charming schoolteacher Lisa Jacoby, and forgets to keep his distance or protect his heart.

When the killer returns, Alex won't run again. He's found a love–a family–he'll face anything to protect.
