Woman in Hiding

by Rebecca Winters

Published 1 June 2004

Leslie Hopkins's heart goes out to Cory Gallagher, a six-year-old boy who lost his mother over a year ago. She delights in her new job as his nanny and is ecstatic when the boy starts to warm up to her. She hurts only when she thinks of what brought her to Grand Teton National Park to care for the ranger's son. Chief Ranger Pierce Gallagher is awestruck by Leslie. She seems to know instinctively what Cory needs to thrive - and what Pierce wants from a woman. He feels so close to her - but why is such a talented, intelligent and beautiful woman interested in a job that is so isolating? Is she hiding from something? Or someone?

Published 24 September 2004

Samantha Bretton was seventeen when she got pregnant.

When Nick took their baby girl to raise by himself, Samantha gave up her rights to be Jessica's mother. But now, thirteen years later, Sam needs to see the little girl who - wonder of wonders - is dying to meet her.

And Nick - ever-patient, strong, loving Nick - still looks at her the same way. Almost as if he's been waiting for her to come home. He's a man on his own, trying to raise his children. Sometimes he gets things right. Sometimes he needs a little help...
