About the book
Should she stake her future on him? Kate had been brought up to believe that promises were not to be given lightly, and despite her husband's lies and blatant infidelity, she'd managed to hold on to her integrity--if not her ability to trust. Alex Dalton didn't dabble in power games the way Kate's husband had. When Alex played, he played to win. He sized up the odds and never underestimated his opposition. Kate knew she wanted what Alex offered... but she couldn't understand what he wanted with her.
