About the book
Mixing business and pleasure was not part of the deal
Riley's independence came naturally. As a logging contractor, doing a man's job in a man's world had taught her to fend for herself. Even so, unfortunately, she was not a woman of independent means.
And for now, saving her Tasmanian logging company meant being pleasant to and relying on the influence of the high and mighty Freyn Devereux.
There was no doubt that the man's influence was boundless. And it didn't take long for Riley to realize that the real risk was not losing her business, but losing her heart.
