Sixteen years ago a murder occurred in a small Oregon town. The crime was never solved, but now local boy-turned-journalist Kane Moran is determined to discover the killer's identity. As Kane investigates the case, he is startled to discover that his high school crush, Claire Holland, might be his prime suspect. Will Kane's newly re-ignited feelings for Claire interfere with his ability to uncover the truth? Author Lisa Jackson calls this book "a spanking brand new edition" of her 1999 novel of the same name--this time with different plot twists and a new ending.

A psychopathic arsonist bent on revenge pursues a journalist in this work of romantic suspense, a revised version of Lisa Jackson's 1995 novel INTIMACIES. Sixteen-year-old Cassidy Buchanan's rich but dysfunctional Oregon family mourned when Cassidy's sister Angie, unmarried and pregnant, died in a deliberately set fire at a Buchanan mill. Common opinion pointed the guilty finger at Brig McKenzie, Cassidy's crush. Seventeen years later, Cassidy faces similar tragedy and falls under suspicion herself when her husband Chase is severely hurt in another Buchanan mill fire.

A wealthy family of department-store heirs, who spent their childhood summers together at the family home, have grown up and scattered all over the country, only to meet at the occasional funeral, wedding, or bar mitzvah. The focus of the novel is the relationship between Cousin Olivia and her companion Roger, both veterinarians in New York City.
