Sinopsi

JACOB HAS COME A LONG WAYáFOR AN ORPHANEDáKID. He has a mentor, a great job, and has finally fallen in love. Granted, she mistook him for a stalker when they met, but every relationship has its little problems. Unfortunately, for the past few years, whenáthe object of his affection pops in and out of his life, she has refused to share any personal info, like where she&rsquo,s from, or her real name. Nevertheless, Jacob is ready to take their relationship to the next level. Now, if only he can locate her so he can tell her.á á CASEY&rsquo,S FAMILY IS IN THE WITNESS PROTECTION program. Safety has to be their only priority. Their cover has been blown before, soáat any given time they could be forced to disappear again. Aáshy young man with hopeful eyes cannot possibly be added to the mix. Now, if only she can stop thinking about him.á á JACOB&rsquo,S AND CASEY&rsquo,S WORLDS UNEXPECTEDLY COLLIDEáwhen Jacob inadvertently helps hide her family.
