About the book
Since her husband's death in a fiery car crash six months earlier Shanna had thrown herself into her work by day and wild parties by night. The truth was, Shanna was afraid of being alone—and even more afraid of love.
But the impossibly arrogant American playboy Rick Dalmont wasn't taking no for an answer. What's more, his relentless pursuit of her was more than annoying.
For Rick seemed to know that the last months of her marriage had been far from happy—and he was dangerously close to discovering the tragic reason why.
