About the book
She is playing with fire!
Normally so cautious and in control of her life, Kelly Harris feels out of her depth cast in the role of a sultry femme fatale. But, out of loyalty to her best friend, she reluctantly agrees to play the seductress to teach a lesson to the man who'd betrayed Beth. It's a scheme fraught with danger.
Especially when stranger Brough Frobisher gets caught in the cross fire. He's contemptuous of Kelly's seemingly provocative ways, yet intrigued. And he can't ignore her undeniable sensuality....
