Raising the Stakes/The Runaway Mistress — Sandra Marton

Attorney Gray Baron has come to Las Vegas on a mission to find a woman -- Dawn Lincoln Kittredge -- the long-lost grandchild of his uncle Jonas Baron. But single mom Dawn is not about to make it easy for him.

On the run from an abusive ex-husband, she is understandably wary of strangers. Even gorgeous, sexy ones like Gray. But mutual suspicion doesn't stop an undeniable passion from igniting between them.

If only they could risk telling each other the truth! Gray, that he came to Vegas just to investigate Dawn. And Dawn, that she and her child are in danger -- and desperately need his help.
