Summary: If her past caught up with her, it could destroy them all.
Review: Leslie Hopkins was a gifted photojournalist who had made one mistake - getting engaged to the wrong man. Now that man, Ed Strickland, was stalking her, breaking into her apartment, and making Leslie fear for her life. Leslie's sister, Diana Farrow, gives Leslie her ID and Leslie assumes Diana's identity, ending up in Salt Lake City, far from New York City and Ed. The separation from her sister, niece, nephew, and brother-in-law is difficult for Leslie, but when she spies an ad in the paper offering a position as a live-in nanny, Leslie thinks it may be just the job for her. Isolated away in the Grand Teton Mountains, surely Ed would never be able to find her there, and maybe she could actually step out into a public place without looking over her shoulder all of the time.

Chief Ranger Pierce Gallagher is desperately searching for a nanny for his young son, Cory. If he can't find one that Cory likes, he and his son will be moving away from Grand Teton National Park, and Pierce will have to give up his job, although Pierce is more concerned with his son's happiness than his job. When Pierce sees Leslie, he's awestruck - and a bit suspicious. Leslie is all that he has been searching for in a nanny, and she seems a bit too good to be true. He knows she's hiding something, but he can't figure out what it is. As Pierce and Cory begin to form an attachment to Leslie, Leslie knows she has to share her secret with Pierce soon - or the results could be disastrous.

This book really caught me from the first page. The reader is immediately thrown into the terror that haunts Leslie's life, as Leslie discovers that her ex-fiance has once again broken into her apartment, despite the fact that she has repeatedly changed the locks. Leslie is courageous in spite of her fear, and she's a wonderful heroine. She's hunted, and she knows that, but it doesn't stop her from reaching out to a motherless child and helping the child and his father address their own issues. Pierce was wonderful, as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about him and Cory.

Ms. Winters has a remarkable ability to make you feel like you are actually part of the story. I could almost smell and taste Leslie's fear and courage at the same time. The last twenty pages of the book were a bit too hokey for my tastes, and way too predictable as well, but the rest of the story was so incredible I had to give the book five stars. Reading this story is definitely a good way to spend a few hours.
