Laura Fenton last saw her friend, lawyer Mark Hunt, in a courtroom. Mark had been seeking a criminal conviction against Laura in the accidental death of his father, her uncle's law partner. The case had been thrown out, and Laura had moved away, escaping the pain and guilt by building anew life for herself entertaining children. . . Five years later, Mark was out to find Laura. Her uncle had died and she'd inherited his half of the law firm. Mark still blamed Laura for his father's tragic death. But now, seeing Laura again, Mark blamed himself. . . for ever having to let her go.
