Shadow chasing. Carla Walker had found paradise in Mexico and a temptation too sweet to deny: Philip Garrison. Theirs promised to be much more than a casual holiday romance ... until Carla learned that he was a cop. For all my tomorrows. A young widow turns to her husband's best friend for support until he mysteriously leaves town without warning. He returns three years later, as mysteriously as when he left, with an interest in her that seemed to go beyond the comfortable friendship they had enjoyed before.
