About the book

Running into Conor Brennan after eleven years produced a disturbing uneasiness Olivia couldn't quite understand. She'd always played doting aunt to the son of her closest friend. But now the boy had grown into a man. A very sexy man.

Olivia had grown up, too. A bad marriage and a shattering accident had ravaged her emotionally. She felt old, jaded and convinced she had nothing to offer a man like Connor. So why did the delicious warmth he kindled make her feel so...wonderfully alive?
