The Bright Face of Danger

(St. Martin’s Press, 1993)

One man wants to love her.
One man wants to silence her.
How long can she hide the shattering secret that puts her life in danger?

In the peaceful upstate New York Countryside, a shot rings out… and a pretty farm girl disappears with a scandalous secret that could destroy a political empire. A year later, she resurfaces with a stunning new face and a glamorous identity that will take her from the decadent playgrounds of the European jet set, to the power palaces of Washington, to the high-pressure world of Hollywood, where she dazzles the film industry and ignites the passions of handsome movie executive Dom Whitfield.

But as Dom romances the talented beauty who seems to have come out of nowhere, he is tormented by the feeling that he’s known her before. What he cannot know about his exciting new love is that she’s running away from one fateful night – and that someone dangerous is watching her … desperate enough to strike her dead.
