About the book
Your mind has been warped by cynicism." Alicia's accusation was bitter. "I'm a realist," Todd said with a shrug. "I've had my fill of women and I've vowed never to marry. But if any woman offers me the benefits of marriage without the ceremony, I'll take it--and her--with open arms." Alicia Granger's heart sank at the finality in his tone, and at the realization that this man would never be vulnerable where a woman was concerned. Todd Alexander's kisses filled her with elation. But her instincts warned that the promise of his kiss could never be fulfilled.
