About the book
Court McAlister is far too commanding for Winter Loring's taste. What's more, he insists on dredging up her miserable past. Worst of all, the divorced Louisiana contractor accuses Winter of having an affair with his teenaged son!
Still, against all odds, Court rivets Winter's attention. Soon he fills her every waking moment-teasing, taunting...endlessly tempting her. His cataclysmic lovemaking shakes her to the core. But his virulent suspicions-and Winter's loyalty to his son-stand between them. They're torn apart by guilt and longing, desperate to absolve the past, yet seemingly powerless to build upon the turbulent present.
