Description en VO :

An Enigmatic Seducer with Words...

Ex-spy turned successful novelist, l. J. Carlson was dashing but difficult, a mystery man who drove Cassandra Lockland mad with a mocking glance or a wicked put-down. How could she be attracted to a man she could barely tolerate, a man who enjoyed baiting her about her business and did his best to provoke her each time they met? Enough of struggling to maintain her composure -- she was through with letting him rile her! When she boldly challenged him, Carlson saw the fire beneath her cool facade and knew he must pursue her. He teased and tormented her with kisses that demanded everything and more, but could this author of passionate love scenes transform her fantasies into sizzling reality? Cassandra inspired him, tantalized him -- and made him yearn to reveal the need he sensed in her to love and be loved. But once he'd taught her not to be afraid, could she make him see that all she feared was losing the man who'd shaped her soul only for him?
