Attorney’s Gail Connor and Anthony—the unforgettable characters who made Barbara Parker an instant nation bestseller—are back. Recently engaged to the Cuban-born Anthony, Gail becomes embroiled in a case that throws shadows of secrecy and distrust over his past—and makes Gail doubt the man she loves…a man she though she knew.
