About the book
Yes, he was perfect... But having a permanent man in her life just didn't appeal to Alexandra Clifford. To Alex, falling in love was "a trap for the unwary" and "never again" was her motto. When fate brought Laurier Tait onto her horizon, the Vancouver visitor tried hard to keep her credo intact--financial independence and an absorbing career would keep her happiest. But Laurier wasn't the type of man to settle for a brief autumn affair. This man wanted a full-time partner in life, and Alex wasn't sure that that woman could be her.
