Intraitable Pénélope

Résumé

The Irresistible Journalist...

Women had always come easy to Nick Lyon, because he seemed not to need them -- but years ago he'd hurt Dionne Hart, and now he needed her help! Heiress to a great business empire, she'd vanished from his life at the age of fifteen, but he remembered the blushing teenager with stormy eyes and a crush on an older boy who hardly knew she was alive. When he entered her office, he was intrigued by the elegant woman who pretended not to know him, then agreed to consider giving a gym to the Special Olympics kids he championed.

Dionne saw the kindled fire in Nick's gaze and answered it with longing, but how could she share her desperate secrets with a man she'd never trusted, a writer who couldn't do his job and respect her privacy? Nick tempted her, awakened her desire, but he wasn't good at taking no for an answer... only at knocking down the walls she kept raising between them. Could he help her make peace with her ghosts by cherishing her always?
