Peter Allen Kelly, known to his friends as PAK, really detests the thought of donating to a sperm bank to pay for his last semester of college. This won't be the first time Pete has done this, but thank heavens it will be the last time. The only saving grace in this unpalatable experience is that he is helping some worthy couple who can't have children any other way. Lily Madison is likewise paying for her last semester of college by donating her eggs to a fertility clinic, and has the same thoughts and feelings as Peter Kelly, even though the two have never met. However, by some chance they do meet this day and even share a cup of coffee. There is an instant connection between them, but they don't follow up on it.

Fast forward nineteen years and both Pete and Lily are business tycoons who are planning on attending their college reunion. Pete is the founder of PAK Industries and a multibillionaire. Lily has made millions in children's' clothes -- designing and manufacturing. She is hoping to see Pete at the reunion and even further hoping they can get to be more than friends. By a quirk of fate they run into each other in the Atlanta airport as they stare at a television screen talking about a mass murder of teen-agers at a group home in San Francisco. Two of the residents escaped and are believed to be the assassins. One of these boys, Josh, looks exactly like Pete! Instead of attending the college festivities, Pete and Lily are determined to find all they can about the slain children, and why a teenager who looks like Pete would be in a group home instead of with loving parents.

Pete and Lily have so much in common that it doesn't take long for them to fall in love and make long-range plans for the future. First, however, they must find Josh, the young man that is probably Pete's son. Unbeknownst to Pete and Lily, the hired killer that massacred the children has been paid millions to get rid of them.

Fern Michaels has come up with an interesting and sinister storyline about fertility clinics. Instead of bringing joy to a host of sterile men and women, greed and evil permeate the owners of these facilities. Other than the ghosts of his two best friends, Tom and Sheila, Josh is alone in the world. He doesn't know who he can trust, but Josh has records that will bring down some very powerful people. This is a page turner and one of the author's best romantic suspense tales to date.
