About the book
Lyon Buchanan was the man who had just about everything--looks, power, sex appeal, money. Was there a woman in his life, though? And, if not, had he frightened them all away? Silke Jordan reckoned that Lyon wouldn't know love if it jumped up and bit him on the nose...but maybe it was just about to. Because Silke was made of strong stuff and would give as good as she got!
