Cassie O'Neill is hurt and shocked that people - even friends turn away from her when she is falsely accused of tampering with lab results. Her friend Meredith, shortly there after, nearly killed in a car accidentally and is begging for her. In order to appease his sister, Bran Rathborn, picks Cassie up at the airport and she is disturbed to see Rathborn dislikes her, totally believes Cassie is guilty, and resents her influence over his sister. But strikes a bargain with her to stay and see Meredith through a serious operation and recovery. She stays and pretends they are best friends in front of his sister and he will help her find a job elsewhere. Cassie would have stayed anywhere, caring for Meredith, but Bran will not accept her feelings as honest and feels she must be paid some way. Cassie at this point is just too tired to fight, seeing he will not listen to her.

Despite his mistrust of Cassie, and his belief she is guilty, he is falling in love with her and Cassie with him. After spending the night together, Bran rushes to the university in the hopes of finding evidence to prove Cassie innocent, but returns saying all evidence proved her guilt, but he blackmailed the university in destroying all the evidence to cover for her. He loves her, but feels she is guilty. Cassie loves him, but cannot stay knowing he just destroy the evidence that could have in time proved her innocent and knowing he believes in her so little, so she leave.

She moves far away, changes her name and we find her two years later. A working mother to a two year old daughter, Bran's daughter. Now suddenly Bran is in town, promising a grant for her research group. At first, she is shocked to find out he does not recognise her. He does he is just biding his time.

There story is warm, funny, and intensely sexual and another of Anne Stuart's gems you cannot put down.
