And Jenny, enthralled by this sensual stranger who has swept back into her life, must find the courage to leave the past behind-and embrace a rapturous new dream of love...

Basically, I thought this book was pretty good. However, the two male characters were both jerks part of the time. Also, the hero, Payne, really was kind of wishy washy. First he was mad, then he wasn't; it was confusing. It sounded as though the author wanted to make a bigger deal out of his anger. I think the book would have been better if t had been a little darker, if the author had focused more on his anger.
