About the book
Easier said than done
Though Fran couldn't refuse her injured sister's plea to hand deliver some vitally important disks to her boss in Paris, she could hardly be expected to take Helena's place as his private assistant.
But Jordan Parry didn't take no for an answer.
As desirable as he was difficult and demanding, Fran quickly understood her sister's attraction. Clearly, their relationship went beyond business--which meant that somehow Fran had to distance herself from the powerful sensuality of this special sort of man, who seemed only too happy to help her explore one of the world's most romantic cities.
