About the book
Jessica Sheldon and Steve Donovan were related by marriage--her mother's and his father's--yet they shared nothing except mutual dislike. The man was gorgeous--but totally insufferable! Jessica yearned to wipe that infuriating know-it-all smile off Steve's face, especially after circumstances threw them together for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Jessica was convinced she neither wanted nor needed a "brotherly" escort on her Australian assignment... or to be plunged headlong into Steve's secret life as a government agent. Her cherished self-control was slipping. Was it the thrill of danger and intrigue... or the sizzling passion she could no longer deny?
