About the book

There was simply no escaping love...

Cassie Linton turned unobtrusiveness into an art. She wasn't a frustrated widow--ripe for the taking--and she went out of her way to avoid appealing to the opposite sex.

But the day she was forced to present Grant Industries with a new ad campaign for Eve Cosmetics, Rohan Grant saw right through her Operation Chameleon. And he liked what he saw. In no time Cassie was on the run. Rohan reminded her too much of her late husband. She couldn't know that in Rohan's case escape was unnecessary--and completely out of the question!
