From Compromising Positions to Lily White, Susan Isaacs has written seven critically acclaimed novels, all unforgettable New York Times bestsellers that have enthralled and touched her numerous fans. Now, she delivers her most powerful story yet, the gripping saga of two ordinary strangers whose hearts and lives will be joined in a most extraordinary way. . . . A straight shooter in every sense, FBI agent Charlie Blair has the numbing job of a bureaucrat and the soul of a cowboy. Dying a slow death from lack of purpose, he jumps at the chance to leave behind Dairy Queen vanilla cones and the History Channel to infiltrate a paramilitary group in Wyoming. Charlie's not the only one hot on the trail, however. Lauren Miller, a bright, ambitious New York journalist, has arrived in Jackson Hole and is bent on finding these extremists for a career-making scoop. On the surface, this whiter than whitebread mountain man and the independent, urbane East-coast writer seem worlds apart. But they share more than they can ever imagine--including a great-great-grandmother and a mutual desire for justice that will spark not only a powerful passion for the truth . . . but an irresistible passion for each other too.

No matter which side of the nature/nurture debate you're on, Amy Lincoln's prospects do not look good. Her father is in jail. Her mother abandoned her when she was 10 months old, leaving her in the care of Grandma Lil, who shoplifts dinner on her way home from her job as a leg waxer. But at 14, ambitious Amy gets a scholarship to an exclusive New England boarding school. After an ivy league education, she becomes a political reporter for the prestigious In Depth. While covering a fund-raiser, Amy meets a college student who claims to be the son of one of the presidential candidates. The idea of tracking down a parent intrigues Any and she begins a search of her own past as well as the candidate's. In the process, she discovers the stuff she's made of, and finds the perfect place to hang her hat in the world.
