About the book
Her future plans did not include men
Laurel was happy to sell the lease of her London flat to Australian property tycoon Connor Dyson. That meant she could move sooner to the country with her small daughter.
A traumatic experience had left her wary of men--and she no longer believed in love. Love needed trust to back it up and she didn't have any. So, while she admitted a physical attraction, she was not prepared to admit Connor into her personal life.
Connor, however, had other ideas. And he was quite prepared to be persistent. Very!
