Liz Jerome is an expert as public relations. Well, at least in business. But when she is hired to do some damage control for a company owned by Donovan Grant, the dividing line between professional and personal suddenly disappears. Donovan catches her off guard with his subtle come-ons and his humorous teasing. But being his playmate isn't on Liz's agenda. She is determined to block his every move, to resist the sweet confusion he arouses in her. Donovan threatens her safe, isolated world, making her want things she can never have. But a painful secret keeps Liz from trusting him, and yet only by taking a chance with Donovan will she begin to heal the past.
