Claire is no stranger to tribulation. She is just getting her career started as a promising journalist in New York when she drops everything to go home to Sault Ste. Marie to help run her father's company while he recovers from a severe heart attack. But her difficulties are only just beginning. Her job won't wait for her return, and her fiancee is less than supportive, walking away when it's clear she won't be able to rush back to his side. She is just able to stand on her own two feet running the company when an unwelcome visitor shows up.... Adam is no one's favorite person. People don't take kindly to the man investigating them for terrorist activities and connections. Particularly lovely young women he hasn't seen since college. One he happened to walk out on without so much as a goodbye....even if she doesn't recognize him. Claire has no choice but to rely on the stranger sitting in her office, scrutinizing her every transaction. She can only pray he is as good at his job as he claims. If not, she faces certain condemnation as a traitor; that is, if she survives the elusive terrorists' attempts to tie up all the loose ends."
