About the book
He was the first man to call her beautiful
Susanna's life began to change the night she met Jackson Arne. She'd always thought of herself as large, plain and eminently sensible, with her respectable career in banking and her respectable--if somewhat stodgy--fiance. Now suddenly someone saw her as passionate and exciting and, yes, beautiful.
