Her imagination holds the key to her survival, but it fuels her retreat from the colorless world around her. Until Michael Rutherford's arrival upturns her every fantasy and threatens her sanctuary with his lies. His embrace is intoxicating to her senses but Grace isn't the kind of woman to lose her head--or her heart.
