description: CONSEQUENCES
  
  The last thing Laney McLeod remembered after fainting in a stalled elevator the night of a blackout in New York City was waking up the morning after in a stranger's bed. A perfectly devastating stranger, it was true, but Laney fled too fast and too far to get the facts.
  
  But the night of abandonment she tried to forget had its consequences. Laney had run from intimacy all her life, but now intimacy pursued her---in the form of a new responsibility and a man who wouldn't let her forget the passionate woman he'd known.
