Lainie McLeod could not even admit the thought that a random fellow traveler, a self-confident handsome man with whom she was stuck in an elevator, would become her destiny, and the night spent with him would be an obsession, the most painful and beautiful experience in her life. And this happened to her - who was afraid of men like fire! She ran away from him, but not from fate.

Having learned that she was expecting a child, Laney was happy - there was nothing more for men to do in her life! How difficult it was for Dick Sargent, so experienced in dealing with women, to break through this armor of mistrust and doubt! But love and kindness can work miracles!
