About the book
Women were just playmates to him.
Adam Wild was a dynamic man—a talented photographer, exceptionally attractive, but cynical to the core. Women flocked to him, but his affairs never lasted long. In his own words, “Only freedom can give happiness.”
So when Katy found herself with no alternative but to share her holiday in the Canadian Rockies with him, she was determined to resist his powerful charms.
Much as she longed to be that special woman in his life, she knew it was impossible. She’d only end up getting deeply hurt.
