Description en VO :

BRICK--A Passionate Man of Action...

He couldn't get enough of feeling her skin next to his or of watching her eyes go dark with explosive need, but Brick Pendleton was stunned when Lisa Ransom made love to him like a wild woman, then sent him away for keeps! He knew her heart's desire and cared for her as he never had another woman, but he just couldn't give her the promise she insisted was her dearest dream.

She Aroused His Most Primitive Instincts

Lisa tried to forget him and ignore him, but he'd gotten under her skin, claimed her with every caress of his mouth and hands, and left her dizzy with yearning for only him. The fierce demolition expert knew everything about tearing things down, but rebuilding Lisa's trust meant fighting old demons--and confessing his fear. Could the man who'd walk through, fire for her win her heart?

As a demolition expert, Brick Pendleton is used to being in complete control. So he’s shaken when his lover extinguishes their explosive affair before he’s ready to say goodbye. He’s never felt about any woman the way he feels about Lisa Ransom, but that doesn’t mean he can give her what she wants most of all: marriage and family.

Despite her best judgment, Lisa Ransom, a young woman who dreams of nothing more than marriage and a family, is drawn to Brick Pendleton, a footloose charmer and demolition expert.
