description: By Award-Winning Author Can a woman with permanence and family stamped on her forehead find the courage to love a footloose, but irresistible, murder suspect? THE DREAM After Ashley Sinclair’s grandfather is murdered, she dreams about converting the old Victorian ranch house she inherited into a haven for her younger siblings; twin sisters, and a brother recently paralyzed in a football accident. Because they were raised in different foster homes, Ashley fears they will reject her love. Other fears haunt her. Because her charming, handsome father abandoned her, she distrusts men. And she’s guilt-driven for not having kept her family together. THE SUSPECT Stone Hunter Price goes undercover to work for Ashley as he tries to clear himself of evidence that he killed her grandfather. A vengeful lawman vows to convict Stone. His own family believes Stone is a murderer. Alone and without funds, he’s estranged from his family. THE TIMING The lawman is minutes from convicting Stone. The murderer is seconds behind Ashley. When the clock strikes, who will win?
