When Rachel Austin bid goodbye to her hometown of Mirage,
Texas, she knew she was leaving behind disappointment,
tragic loss, and painful memories. But she was also
leaving Houston Bookout, the only man she could ever love.
In the frightening bustle of Rachel's new life, her
intelligence, poise, and stunning half-Cherokee beauty
help rocket her to the top of the modeling world. But
money and fame cannot soothe a broken heart or protect
Rachel from danger. And only when Rachel stands to lose
everything does she learn that her one hope is Houston's
love, a passion that cannot be torn apart by distance,
glamour, or even a madman's obsession.
