Katherine Lawrence has no idea what hit her. The attack came out of nowwhere. Only hours earlier she was enjoying a girls-only weekend with an old college friend. Now she finds herself lying bound and gagged on her kitchen floor,staring with terrified eyes at her friend Llisa while two masked gunmen search her house for-what? She doesn't know . She only knows that, unless they can escape whatever it is the men are searching for could end up getting both her and Lisa killed. But Katherine's nightmare is just beginning. When she awakens in the hospitalm her nose crushed, her body battered, her brain tells her that things aren't right-and it's not the attack that disorienting her. She doesn't reconize herself when she looks in the mirror: her slim bodym her manicured hands, her blond bob. And the smiling handsome doctor at her bedside-Dr. Dan Howard- is familiar, but in a totally unfamiliar way. Perhaps the truam of the attempt on her life has given her some kind of weird amnesia. She's twenty nice, the special assistanat to the head of the CIA and she's lucky to be alive. She also knows she can trust no one. Acting on instinct, Katherine runs for her life, with Dan , her newfound protector at her side. By turns grateful and unnerved by his presence and unable to shake a feeling of profound dread, she allows him to spirit her to a secluded safe house. Instead of finding a haven, they stumble into a tangled web of government conspiracy, and Katherine is left confused, frightened and desperate to uncover the truth. As the pair is drawn further into this shadowy world where almost nothing is as it seems, as fear gives way to a firestorn of attraction, the cat-and-mouse game grows more deadly and soon both of their lives are at stake
