Book description
LuAnn Tyler is an unwed mother striving to escape a life of endless
poverty. Then a mysterious Mr Jackson makes her an offer he thinks no
one can refuse: a guarantee to be the winner of the 0 million lottery.
But LuAnn won't do it. Less than twenty-four hours later, she is
fighting for her life and running from a false murder charge. Jackson's
offer - and its condition that she leave the country forever - seems her
only hope. However, ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the
United States to begin a new life with Matthew Riggs, a man whose
origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her
trail, as have the FBI - and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who
can help her. But is help what Matt intends or is he too closing in for
the kill?
