Now, at thirty-one, she's coming home -- bringing her successful late-night radio talk show, "The Cinderella Hour," to the Windy City. The hour of trust But there are risks in returning -- risks and fears. The father she never knew. The mother who acted out one dangerous fantasy after another. The high school heiress who uncovered Snow's greatest secret . . . And then there's Luke Kilcannon, the troubled boy she loved. The hour they can't forget Luke has never forgotten Snow or the love they shared -- and the baby it created. He needs to know why Snow abandoned him, why she abandoned the future the two of them had planned. And Snow needs to find out who doesn't want her back in Chicago.
