A Stranger's Trust — Emma Richmond

Trouble next door

It's not like everybody in town doesn't know her life story -- local girl meets brilliant con man who seduces her and runs off with all her money. Now all Hilary wants to do is hide -- from the world, from herself, from the past. And she's doing a fine job of it until Leo moves in next door.

His deep gray eyes seem to see too much. And he can just forget trying to charm her out of wallowing in self-pity. Misery is fine company. Especially when the alternative is falling for yet another ruthless stranger.

Hero: Leo
Heroine: Hilary
