This book was originally released as A Little Harmless Secret. A man without a past Devon Stryker has kept himself safe from enemies. Only one person has gotten past his defenses. Five years ago, he let his guard down and Ali slipped past his defenses. That one night of passion rocked his world and he's never been able to get her out of his mind. So, when he sees her in Seattle, he become obsessed with finding her. A woman on the run. The moment Devon catches up with Ali, she doesn't know what to do. She's been keeping secrets, including the daughter they made together. There is no denying Devon is the father since they share the same distinctive eyes. But she can't trust anyone, especially Devon since she's convinced he killed her father and has been stalking her. Danger surrounds them. Once she realizes Devon isn't a threat, she agrees to let him protect her and our child. Their tentative alliance puts them in close quarters, and the same spark they had five years ago flares to life. But trusting each other isn't easy, even as he finds myself falling in love with her. But as the danger closes in on them, both of them must let go of their trust issues to protect the one thing they both love: their daughter. »WARNING: This title includes secrets, guns, a sexy know-it-all hero, spies, a heroine who doesn't trust the hero, meddling in laws, even more spies, double crosses, cool computer things, and two people who can't seem to keep their hands off each other even though they know it isn't the right thing to do.

Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you can trust them. I’m a man without a past–not one that anyone can dig into. I’ve kept myself safe from my enemies and no one has gotten past my defenses except one woman, Alicia. Five years ago, I let my guard down. That one night of passion rocked my world and I’ve never been able to get her out of my mind. So, when I see her in Seattle, I become obsesses with finding her. When I catch up with her, the fear I see in her expression confuses me. When I see the little girl with my eyes, it all becomes clear why she’s been hiding. Or so I think. She’s been keeping more than our daughter secret from me. Worse, she thinks I might have killed her father and have been hunting her. Once she realizes I’m not the threat, she agrees to let me protect her and our child. Our tentative alliance puts us in close quarters, and the same spark we had five years ago flares to life. But trusting each other isn’t easy, even as I find myself falling in love with her. But as the danger closes in on us, we must let go of our trust issues to protect the one thing we both love: our daughter. »WARNING: This title includes secrets, guns, a sexy know-it-all hero, spies, a heroine who doesn’t trust the hero, meddling inlaws, even more spies, double crosses, cool computer things, and two people who can’t seem to keep their hands off each other even though they know it isn’t the right thing to do.

Cryptology, for millennia a "secret science", is rapidly gaining in practical importance for the protection of communication channels, databases, and software. Beside its role in computerized information systems, cryptology is finding more and more applications inside computer systems and networks, extending to access rights and source file protection. The first part of this book treats secret codes and their uses - cryptography - before moving on to the process of covertly decrypting a secret code - cryptanalysis. Spiced with a wealth of exciting, amusing, and occasionally personal stories from the history of cryptology, and presupposing only elementary mathematical knowledge, this book will also stimulate general readers.
