GIDEON'S SECRET Chief Gideon Defender: A man whose painful choices had now come full circle. Raina McKenny: A woman whose maternal instincts warred with a never-ending passion. When Raina McKenny returned home, widowed and a single parent, Gideon Defender knew the circle was almost complete. He'd let her go once in the name of love, yet now she was back—along with her adopted son. Raina wanted Peter to embrace his Indian culture—a culture Gideon alone could impart, a history paralleling Gideon's more intimately than Raina could ever imagine... And then the courts stepped in, seeking to take Peter away, and suddenly Gideon's secret was a secret no more.
