In more than fifty New York Times bestselling novels, Sandra Brown has captivated her millions of readers with stories of charismatic love and tantalizing twists of fate. In this classic tale, a woman is reunited with the man she has loved for years--and must reveal the secret that will jeopardize her chance for happiness at last. He arrived out of the blue--a flesh-and-blood phantom from the past in a sports car as sleek and sexy as Law Kincaid himself. The world-famous astronaut was as devastatingly attractive as the first time Marnie Hibbs had laid eyes on him, seventeen years before. But she well knew the perils of falling for a ladies' man like Law. And this time she had someone besides herself to protect. Law is determined to discover who is sending him anonymous letters claiming he'd fathered a son he knows nothing about. Showing up at the Hibbs's return address from the letters seemed like a step in the right direction. Marnie swears she isn't the guilty party, but when Law meets her son, it's like a one-two punch to his solar plexus. The boy is nearly the spitting image of Law. Law can't remember sleeping with Marnie--then again, he can't remember much about his crazy past. But there's more to it than that: Marnie claims the boy isn't biologically hers. As the tension between them becomes unbearable and the attraction undeniable, Marnie is forced to reveal a long-held secret...one that might cause her to lose both the boy she loves more than anyone--and the man she desires more than anything.
This is one of my favortie oldies by Sandra Brown. I re-read it last night, and I was crying at certain parts of this one. This is a story written in th 80's during SB's Loveswept time, but it's pretty much timeless. (Minus the IROC). LTC has tons of tension for a catagory romance, sexual and otherwise, and the sex is hot too for the time it was written. (No purple prose to be found!) I like the way Marnie stands up to Law and the way she plays her love close to her chest so that he can find out on his own terms. If you never read it, be sure to pick it up when in the mood for a fast easy read!

This was an excellent Sandra Brown novel. It has everything suspense and interesting characters and great storyline. The ending was predictable but nevertheless very good. I would recommended this novel to anyone.

Sandra Brown has done it again. I loved this story. Law sounded so intense and he sure acted cocky there for awhile, until he discovered he cared more for Marnie than he bargained for. Great read!
Exemplifies the very best of the series romance genre
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I read this book when it was first issued, have read it periodically through the years, and just seeing the title evokes for me all the emotions I felt the very first time. In other words, it's a keeper. It exemplifies series romance at its best, and showcases Ms. Brown at the top of her game. An emotionally honest and refreshing story, it undoubtedly broke new ground in the genre with flawed but sympathetic lead characters. Typical of a Sandra Brown book, the love scenes are highly sensual, even raw, but not gratuitously so. They make sense given the inevitable clash of the hero's celebrity-driven ego and the heroine's repressed emotions. A super-fast read, the ending is exceptionally satisfying in intensity and length, unlike many books today that seem to want to wrap everything up in one and a half pages, and leave you yearning for more. Kudos to a wonderfully written, timeless reissue.
