"Don't touch me. You have no right.... " Addy said.
"I'm making it my right. When are you going to realize that not every man who touches you wants to hurt you?"
"Oh? And I suppose this is your way of looking out for me?"
"No." Sam went very still for a moment. The look in his eyes sent her heart tumbling. "This is my way of shutting you up so I can let you know I care."
He lowered his head. His lips hovered a fraction above Addy's. His breath was hot against her cheek. And then his mouth covered hers and she forgot everything. In the heat of the kiss her anger dissolved. The words she'd been about to hurl were forgotten. Her fears fled, to be replaced by a wild rush of feelings unlike anything she'd ever known.

Chapter One
"All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty... "
The words of her sister's nursery rhyme played through Addy O'Brien's mind as the bus passed through mile after mile of rockstrewn Nevada desert.
Nothing would ever be put back together. Not her life. Not her family. Certainly not her lost childhood.
Every so often she'd spot a ramshackle ranch in the distance. The house looked dusty and isolated. Even the livestock in the fields looked tired. Cows dozed in the unrelenting sun. Horses stuck their heads through split-rail fences, tugging at tufts of brown grass.
Beside her a drunken passenger snored and shifted until his head bobbed on her shoulder. She pushed him away and he sat up, blinking furiously, until, minutes later, he was snoring again.
Addy tried not to think about where she was heading. Instead, she closed her eyes and thought about her goodbye. It had been oddly unemotional, considering the fact that it was a final break with all that she had ever known.
"I cannot recommend this job," Rose Carpenter had said in that matter-of-fact tone. "The work will be much harder than anything you've ever done before. And you will have no one there to turn to if it doesn't work out."
"It's a job." Addy had refused to meet her eyes. "I'll be caring for someone who needs me."
"You'll have no one. No one in Reno will know you."
That was just fine with Addy. She didn't want anyone to know Adelia O'Brien. Not her past. Not her pain.

She smiled, thinking about Savannah's words of advice. "If I don't like something about my life, I invent something better. Hell, even my name isn't the one my parents gave me. I'd rather be Savannah any day than Shirley."
Just thinking about Savannah made Addy grin. She wondered what the outrageous child-woman was doing now. Ida said she was probably hooking in Vegas. Addy was half inclined to agree with her. But she hoped, with all her might, that Savannah had found someone who would be willing to look beyond the gaudy makeup to the tender heart Savannah kept hidden deep inside.
Addy intended to take Savannah's advice. The old Addy had died. Like Humpty Dumpty, she'd been shattered beyond repair. But she had constructed a new Addy. Today was her twenty-first birthday. On this day she would be reborn. Or reinvented. Her smile grew.
"Reno," the driver shouted as he brought the bus to a hiccupping stop.
Minutes later, belching exhaust fumes and dust, the bus pulled away from the curb. When the dust settled, Addy picked up the battered suitcase she'd bought at a garage sale and stared around at the dizzying maze of buildings. Though the sun was barely setting on the horizon, the lights had already been turned on, creating a blaze of neon. The street was lined with bars, restaurants and casinos, all shouting their wares to the passing tourists.
There was nothing quiet or elegant or dignified about this part of town. She wondered if all of Reno would be like this. Loud, coarse, vulgar. This was the biggest town she'd ever been in. It was also the first time she'd ever been on her own. The thought exhilarated her. And terrified her. This might be just the place where a girl with no past could carve a future for herself. If she was willing to work for it.
