July 19, 1983 . . .

The Kinards, the Richardses and the Webbers -- Seattle's Kennedys. Their "compound" -- elegant Forrester Square . . .until the fateful night that tore these families apart.

Twenty years later . . .

Their children were reunited. Repressed memories and family secrets were about to be revealed. And one person was out to make sure they never remembered . . .

Living in America was everything Kara Tamaki had dreamed it would be while growing up in Japan. Now she didn't want to leave -- at least not until her baby was born. But her visa had expired, and returning home could bring shame to her family. Seattle attorney Daniel Adler was her last hope.

Daniel wasn't an immigration lawyer, and he really wasn't sure how he could help Kara . . .until he met her. The sweet-faced, determined young woman sparked an uncharacteristic desire in Daniel to protect her -- a desire that quickly threatened to overwhelm his better judgment. He could help Kara stay in America . . .by marrying her.
