#1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels dazzles readers with the unforgettable story of one woman's life-the betrayal that nearly destroys her, the love that helps her heal, and the struggle to find the truth about herself and the man she thought she knew . . . An only child who lost both parents during her first year at college, wealthy heiress Kristine Kelly had made her husband her whole world. But she didn't see what everyone else did: that handsome, charismatic Logan Kelly was a manipulator and a user. Then, one cold December, Kristine got a chilling wake-up call when Logan vanished, along with the eight-million-dollar trust fund she had naively given him the power to control. Just when Kristine's life was at its lowest point, banker Aaron Dunwoodie offered her passion, a strong shoulder to lean on, and a relationship to believe in. But a woman once fooled is twice wary, and very vulnerable. There were still too many questions Kristine needed to answer before she could commit her heart again: what really happened to Logan . . . what did she truly want for herself . . . and what would she do if Logan-a dangerous, seductive, and yet irresistible man-walked back into her life?

"This story kept me really entertained; I couldn't stop reading. The author added just the right combination of suspense, romance, and revenge. Then she finished it off with the perfect ending. I would highly recommend this story."
— Tina (4 out of 5 stars)
" This book was very predictable and a bit too long. Overall just ok "
— Laura, 12/25/2013" A huge coincidence is a large part of the plot. "
— Esther, 12/11/2013" Alright book, boring sometimes, exciting other times. "
— Joanne, 12/8/2013" Not my favorite. Kristin, the main character, drove me mad with her wishy-washy actions. And I thought that Logan deserved a much worst fate. "
— Loretta, 11/16/2013" A marvalous book showing what a family - mother and three kids can accomplish dispite the fact that dad has vanished along with all their money. The whole book is truly a celebration of life. "
— Sharon, 10/29/2013" the beginning pissed me off....I just cannot handle women this weak. But the book DID pick up and was awesome once she got a backbone! "
— Krista, 10/28/2013" Easy read for a plane ride. Kristine starts as a wimp of a wife with no personality and develops into a character able to succeed and find happiness. Book had more depth than I expected. "
— Rita, 9/17/2013" I keep reading. She keeps writing. "
— Pat, 7/4/2013" A quick read and very fluffy but I liked it. "

— Paula, 7/29/2012" Not much to say. Just a nice little book. Not a fan of her writing style, though. "
— Ddahlstro, 7/15/2012" Kristine Kelly didn't see what was happening when her husband, Logan Kelly, disappeared with her eight million dollar trust fund, traveled around the world after changing his I.D. and left her with the three children. "
— JANET, 6/14/2012" This is what I'm reading while on a Stephen King break. Why? I'm not sure. I usually love Fern Michaels but this one, not so much. About a third of the way through and I can pretty much tell you where this one is going. Finishing is questionable. "
— Gayle, 2/16/2012" Two stars. The characters are so frusturating, I had to put the book aside for a while just to finish it. "
— Shauna, 1/29/2012" I liked the story, though the whole thing was a bit long. The characters were well-developed and the plot moved along. All in all, a good read. "
