About the book
Kelly resented being treated like a child. Although she looked about seventeen, Kelly was well qualified for partnership in her father's Western Canada catering business. Self-confidence wasn't a problem, but the arrogant owner of the mining camp where she worked kept challenging her authority! Grey Scofield and Kelly just couldn't work together, sad as Kelly was to realize the fact. Though she couldn't stand the man, she had, unfortunately, developed some sort of an addiction to him.
