What it feels like

The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and the heavy, intoxicating weight of inevitable surrender.

About the book

Once bitten, twice shy

No man would make a fool of Angelica again--not after the way Giles had treated her.

She certainly wasn't interested in the attractive and charming Daniel Forbes. Although Daniel was at least honest enough not to offer her protestations of undying love.

But when he let Angelica know--in a way that only Daniel could--that he found her a highly desirable woman, Angelica finally began to realize just how hard it was going to be to resist this man's brand of persuasion
