About the book
She'd fallen into his plans like the naïve fool she was--allowing him to charm her totally and to use the bewildering response of her body against her.
Behind his devastating facade was a ruthless businessman--a man determined to steal her home and her livelihood in the north of New Zealand.
That had been seven years ago. Now, face-to-face once again with Guy Lorimer, Mike couldn't run from the dark spell that still drew her to him. And she knew the only way to break free was to give in to her desires--totally, recklessly--and let the pieces fall.
