description: THE TRUTH COULD SAVE HER... OR DESTROY HER
  
  Twenty years ago, Lucas Walker was seventeen, in love with Tansy Gerard -- and framed for the murder of Tansy's twin brother. Lucas's part-Cherokee heritage, "bad seed" reputation and desperate need to protect Tansy made him an easy target to take the rap. Now, on the eve of his release from Attica, Lucas discovers Tansy is about to be married to her father's most trusted advisor and friend, the rich and powerful Carlton Sanford...the man who framed him.
  
  Lucas returns to Manhattan only to find Tansy reclusive and ethereal -- lost in a world where her brother is still alive. Secret meetings with Tansy are a balm to Lucas's scarred soul, yet his very presence could shatter the illusion that keeps Tansy safe. But Sanford is dangerous, so Lucas must take the risk and prove what really happened that fateful night. Or Tansy will be lost to him forever....
