About the book
She was supposed to be a modern-day Delilah
When Keira Mary Brooks returned to Sydney, her cousin Justin greeted her with open arms. It was not what she'd expected.
Neither were Justin's plans. He wanted Keira to assume the alias Delilah O'Neil and to seduce a man.
For the sake of family, Keira reluctantly agreed. But then she met Nick Sarazan, the man of her dreams. "Come dance with me," said Nick. "I'll show you we're made for each other."
