Synopsis

To Aiden Terrell, Alexandra Radford is a captivating combination of British propriety and eastern exoticism. But this confirmed bachelor has sworn off love and instead has decided to assist at his friend's private investigation business. Now his job is to protect the exquisite Alexandra and her young pupil from a shadowy threat. But guarding himself against Miss Radford's charms will be another matter altogether...

Insufferable. Insolent. Intriguing. Mr. Terrell is all of these things and more-though Alex can't afford to care. If he weren't her last resort, she'd surely have dismissed him after that first smoldering glance-a glance that sent her heart racing with a desire she'd never known. However, when the threat of danger increases, and secrets from the past come to the fore, Alex's fierce resolve melts as she seeks warm comfort and delicious passion in Aiden's arms. And with each moment they share, Aiden is becoming less someone she needs than someone she wants. But what will happen when all secrets are revealed?

About the Author

Leslie LaFoy grew up loving to read and living to write. (This was a significant factor in her becoming the unofficial poster child of over-education. In the Liberal Arts no less.) After teaching high school history for many years, she focused her creative energies on her life-long dream of writing full time. When not made completely oblivious to reality by her current work in progress, she dabbles in every handicraft known to womankind and, twice a week and ever other weekend, dons her cape to be Hockey Team Mom.
