author: Warren, Pat
description: In the grip of danger,in the arms of her protector, she was... Beholden With the sharp, deadly crack of gunfire, Terry Ryan's life changed forever. She had witnessed a murder, recognized the gunman, and knew immediately she couldn't go to the police. With the killer an official high in law enforcement circles, Terry knew her life was in danger. She picked up her best friend, headed for a mountain hideaway, and tragically never reached it. In the crumpled wreck, her friend was dead and Terry herself badly injured. Before she realized it, she would be hiding behind a new identity created by Luke Tanner, the coldly handsome marshal sent to protect her. But her life was still in danger. Soon they would both be on the run from a desperate killer-and falling in love. Fear stoked their passion; living for the moment heightened their hunger. And waiting in the crossroads was a fearsome choice...one even more fateful than an assassin's bullet.
