About the book

Revenge... or romance?

As Sam Lockhart was devastatingly handsome, it wasn't surprising that he had a reputation! So when Fran Fisher heard that Sam had broken her best friend's heart, she gladly agreed to help her friend get even.

The first part of their plan--for Fran to organize Sam's charity Valentine Ball--was easily achieved. There was an immediate respect between them--and sizzling attraction. But as the night of the ball approached, it became clear something was amiss--this man was no heartbreaker. Now Fran's Valentine wish was no longer revenge--but to have Sam all to herself!
