From bestselling, beloved author Judith McNaught comes the dramatic
story of a woman who, out of childhood chaos, has created the perfect
life... a man convicted of a heinous crime, who stubbornly protests his
innocence... their journey together into the snow-swirled wilderness of
Colorado, and the most tender, elusive longings of the human heart...
"Perfect"
A rootless foster child, Julie Mathison had blossomed under the love
showered upon her by her adoptive family. Now a lovely and vivacious
young woman, she was a respected teacher in her small Texas town, and
she passionately lived her ideals. Julie was determined to give back all
the kindness she'd received; nothing and no one would ever shatter the
perfect life she had fashioned.
Zachary Benedict was an actor/director whose Academy Award-winning
career had been shattered when he was wrongly convicted of murdering his
wife. After the tall, ruggedly handsome Zack escaped from a Texas
prison, he abducted Julie and forced her to drive him to his Colorado
mountain hideout. She was outraged, cautious, and unable to ignore the
instincts that whispered of his innocence. He was cynical, wary, and
increasingly attracted to her. Passion was about to capture them both in
its fierce embrace... but the journey to trust, true commitment, and
proving Zack's innocence was just the beginning...
