    About this ebook

    Does someone want revenge? Sensible nurse LynAnn Johnson just wants to find her birth mother and raise her children in peace. Widowed for four years, LynAnn isn't looking for love, especially not with the sexy district attorney with a well-known bad boy reputation. Prominent district attorney Jeff Kelley turns LynAnn's world upside down in more ways than one. With dangerous events pushing them closer together and unraveling a plot far beyond either of their imaginations, she gives her heart to the man. But is she merely one more conquest in his game of sensuous seduction?
