New York Times bestselling author Barbara Delinsky displays her deep understanding of the desires and fears that move us all in this poignant story, first published in 1984, of danger, love, and trust.

          Once upon a time she was Robyn Hart, a journalist who saw too much and wasn’t afraid to expose it. But that courage nearly cost Robyn her life. Under the protection of the Witness Relocation program, she now has a new identity — Carly — and a new job. But the terror of the past still lingers, and Carly lives in fear that her enemies will find her.

          Though she tries to wall herself off from the world, one determined man breaks through her defenses — successful young attorney Ryan Cornell. And though she yearns to give him her heart, Carly doesn’t know if she can. While loving him offers a happiness she thought she’d forever lost, trusting him could cost her everything.
