Sobre este e-book
Teacher Laurel Tanner couldn't stop hearing her ex–husband's words. And then she met Cort Morente. The injured, brooding detective was the hottest hunk in her new hometown. And when Laurel and Cort worked together to help Tommy, a troubled boy at school, they did the impossible they began to fall in love!
But her husband's hateful words still haunted her. Laurel could never tell Cort the secret she'd kept buried deep inside. She was convinced it was the real reason her husband had left. The real reason she could never be the woman Cort needed.
Even though his eyes and his lips were telling her otherwise

When Allison Leigh learned in 1996 that her first novel, Stay..., had been accepted for publication by Silhouette Books, it was the dream of a lifetime. An avid reader, Allison knew at an early age that she wanted to be a writer, as well. Until that first book hit the bookshelves in her hometown, she still had some lingering suspicion that she would awaken from this particular dream. But Stay... did make it to the shelves in April 1998 and the dream was a reality.
"I fell in love with the hero, Jefferson Clay, when I was writing Stay...," Allison says. And readers fell in love too. Romantic Times heralded her first novel with their "Top Pick of the Month," awarding it with a 41/2-star rating (out of five), calling it a "love story packed with emotion from gifted new storyteller Allison Leigh."
Stay... received nominations for Romantic Times Best Books of 1998 in two categories: Best Special Edition, and Best First Series Romance. Allison was even further honored and delighted to learn that Stay... was a Romance Writers of America RITA finalist for Best First Book.
Since then, there have been more releases from Silhouette Special Edition, all equally well received by her readers and consistently appearing in both the Golden Quill Award of Excellence and the Holt Medallion. Her sixth book, Married to a Stranger, will be released in July 2000, and another book follows in December.
Born in Southern California, Allison has lived in several different states. She has been, at one time or another, a cosmetologist, a computer programmer, and a secretary. She has recently begun writing full-time after spending nearly a decade as an administrative assistant for a busy neighborhood church, and currently makes her home in Arizona with her family. She loves to hear from her readers. Please visit her website above or send an email to aldavidson@inficad.com or via snail mail P.O. Box 40772, Mesa, AZ 85274-0772, USA.
