About the book
Disturbed, angry, and at odds
That just about summed up her reaction to Rick Emerson, Evonne thought bitterly. Ever since she'd first laid eyes on him.
When she agreed to do her employer a favor, she'd expected to be helping a young, untried writer to organize and type his book. This sophisticated, attractive, dangerous specimen was not part of her calculations.
Rick was just about the most aggravating man she'd ever met--and he had absolutely no right to pry into her past!
