About the book
She was determined to defeat his plans
Bryony Porter not only designed and manufactured kites, she had a passion for flying them, too. And Knucklerock Field, on the windy Newfoundland coast, was just the right spot. She would never let the maddening Hunter Grant convert it into a helicopter base!
Despite her opposition to his proposed takeover, she couldn't resist Hunter's smile--nor his slightest touch, which sent her heart soaring! Soon, Bryony found herself reluctantly falling in love with him.
With aching certainty, she knew it was hopeless... for Hunter was inextricably bound to another woman.
