He swore he'd never let her go. She should have believed him.

Brooke Hastings is ready to end her six-week affair. Gideon Ross is charming and sexy, but he's?not worth throwing away her marriage and family for. So?she breaks it off, hoping Gideon will understand.

He doesn't. Gideon insists that he and Brooke are meant to be together. Finally, he backs off, but not before issuing?a promise: he'll?never let her go.?

Six years later, Brooke wants to believe it's?all behind her. Her family has survived intact. Gideon has vanished.???

But the fear hasn't?disappeared. Brooke can't?tell how much of it is paranoia, and how much is justified, but she's?worried. And maybe she's?right to be.????

Because Gideon is a man who keeps his promises . . .
