Julia Talbot is an exemplary second-grade teacher in a small town in upstate New York. Sensitive to emotionally abused children, she gets involved with one such student, Brian Stratford, the mayor\'s son. Brian is not his usual exuberant self, and Julia is wondering if his father\'s campaign for state senator is affecting him. She attempts to bring her concerns to his parents, but Brian\'s Uncle Connor runs interference. The family is having serious problems, and Connor sets out to distract Julia from her mission, but she becomes more than a distraction for him. His desire for Julia could cost his brother the election if secrets come out and Julia refuses to stay away from Brian. When Brian disappears, Julia realizes that more is going on than she\'s being told, and her tenuous relationship with Connor is tested. Initially, Julia seems too good to be true, but she develops along with the story, making for another of Kane\'s absorbing tales of romantic suspense.
