Pursued — Elizabeth Jennings

It seems like only yesterday that she was Julia Templeton, a happy go-lucky redhead with a fabulous Boston apartment, thriving publishing career, and a hopping social calendar. Now she's drab brunette Sally Andersen, teaching second grade in small town Idaho. Thanks to the Witness Protection program, she's alive -- but doomed to a life of looking over her shoulder. And the day she finds a brawny stranger looming there, she does what any helpless, hunted female would do; she knocks him out cold. Rumor has it that the pretty new schoolteacher is standoffish, but this is ridiculous. Richard Cooper figures sassy-yet-skittish Sally must be hiding something. But never in his wildest dreams does he suspect that she's on the run from murderous mobsters -- or that he'll feel compelled to protect her. With any luck, when all this is over, he might even be able to talk her into taking yet another name: his.
