Annie blames herself for her wanton behavior, but how was she to know the man who appeared at her door after midnight wasn't her fiancé? If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have run to meet him clad only in her sleeping gown. Yet that wasn't her worst mistake. Nor was killing her landlord, he deserved to die. Her worst mistake was running away.

Jared had been on a mission to rescue his brother from the clutches of another woman. How was he to know his body would betray him when Annie threw herself in his arms?
