No way out.
(Book)

With a child's life at stake, a compassionate teacher digs into the secrets of an important political family, risking both her life and her heart when she confronts a powerful and alluring man. Something is wrong with Julia Talbot's favorite second-grader, the mayor's son Brian. Seeing the outgoing little boy become increasingly anxious and withdrawn, she suspects there may be problems within the glittering Stratford mansion. But Julia doesn't know the real truth. Venture capitalist Connor Stratford, the boy's uncle, does. Intrigued by Julia, Connor plans a campaign of seduction designed to keep her from snooping--and to get her into his bed. Yet Julia has already learned too much. Then Brian vanishes, and a desperate hunt to find him draws Julia deeper into a family's secrets ... and into an irresistible passion. As her fears and desires careen toward an explosive climax, there is no going back--and no way out.
