The Hiding Place
Librarian Note: This edition's ISBN is in conflict with another's in the database - Too Young to Love.
Laurel Atchison - or Laurie Atkins, as she is now calling herself - doesn't dare tell her new neighbors who she really is or why she's come to Wolf Hill, Alberta. Fortunately, the trusting folk of the small town don't ask too many questions.
Until the arrival of another newcomer, the mysterious - and very attractive - Jonas O'Neal. Now the whole town is abuzz, and Laurel is the focus of their interest. Why does this stranger make her nervous? They want to know. Who is he and why is he so interested in her?
These are questions Laurel can't answer. All she knows for sure is that she has to keep her secret - and her heart - intact.

It's a typical Harlequin romance: girl in trouble, meets mysterious man and falls in love just to find out the mystery behind him is all connected to her. Girl gets upset and leaves but cannot stop thinking about mystery man. Mystery man pleads his innocence and forgiveness with a little help from outside sources and they live happily ever after. For those of you pursuing Harlequin novel writing, I just helped you out. You're welcome.

Hero was not well developed enough to explain the chemistry between the lovers.
