About the book
She could not shake the tragic past... Carla Howard still had nightmares, even after three years. But tragic as her fiance, Crispin's, death had been, another face haunted her waking mind. For on that fateful night when Carla had broken her engagement to Crispin, she had also seen his older brother, Blaze Douglas, for the first time. It was sheer bad luck that, when Carla's life had just about reached rock bottom - she was jobless, homeless and penniless - she should find herself at the mercy of Blaze, a man she had described as "a piece of ice coated with frost". For Blaze held her entirely responsible for the tragic death of his young brother Crispin, and was determined to be revenged on her. Now, down on her luck and finding herself, ironically in Blaze’s care, Carla could no longer deny the love she felt for him. Instead, an unwilling attraction flared up between the two of them, and Blaze asked her to marry him. But neither could she know if it was plan to avenge his brother. But a few more surprises were in store for Carla....
