Identity / Nora Roberts.

Former Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make the mortgage payments. But after they host their first dinner party - attended by Luke, the flirtatious IT guy - her world is shattered. Nina lies dead on the floor. Soon, a horrific truth emerges: 'Luke' is a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then commits his ultimate goal: murder. But Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Morgan must flee to her mother's home in Vermont. She struggles to build something new, and meets another man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family business has deep roots in town. But Gavin hasn't forgotten the one who got away.
