Synopsis: SHE COULDN'T REMEMBER HER NAME,
HER ADDRESS,
HER FAMILY.
NOT EVEN WHY SOMEONE WANTED HER DEAD--
WHO WAS SHE?
SHE HAD LOST HER WALLET, HER IDENTITY--EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CLOTHES ON HER BACK--AND HER LIFE.
She awoke in a room she didn't remember, asleep on a bed she did not recognize, in a hotel she had never heard of, bruised and battered from an incident she couldn't recall.
THEN HER LIFE TURNED COMPLICATED.
Befriended by a truck driver who takes her under his wing, she sets about to rediscover--and reclaim--the life she's lost. But despite appearances, she's not really alone. Two men--one, a hardened killer; the other; a methodical, high-tech tracker--stalk her every move. Even Nick--the good Samaritan truck driver helping her--may not be all that he appears.
LOCKED IN HER MIND IS A SECRET WORTH KILLING FOR--
AND WORTH LIVING FOR.
More than anything, she wants her memory--and life--back. Others will stop at nothing to make sure she never remembers anything again. For though she does not know it, deep in her mind is buried a secret that threatens to bring down one of the richest men in the world. A secret that can shake governments to their very foundations. A secret that could lead to her destruction--or her salvation.
