About the book
'You - under my management - can be a valuable property. One I don't wish to lose.'
But the last thing Andrea wanted was close contact with impresario Luke Kane, however good he might be for her career. Years ago she had cherished a teenage crush for him, but he had chosen to kill her feelings cruelly and she had learnt to hate him instead. Yet he was still the most attractive man she had ever met, his raw sexuality difficult for her to resist. But resist him she must, or go down in history as another of Luke Kane's disposable women
