About the book
Felicity wanted his love -- not his money
Felicity was eager to help Lydia Harfield regain the use of her paralyzed legs. Lydia's son, Garth, however, was the most arrogant, provocative man she'd ever met! Contrary to his suspicions, she'd never be interested in his money or his eligibility.
That's why, after a few months, it became doubly important to hide her feelings. Garth would never believe she was head over heels in love with him for simply being himself.
