About the book
“One thing you ought to know about me is that I can never resist a challenge—I always take them up and when I do I invariably win.” Adam Rochford might be her father's business partner, but that didn't entitle him to rule Micky's life. She had no intention of falling in with her parents' plans, and Adam's arrogant interference was the final straw. Then, just when she was sure that he thought of her as an irritating child, she realised that she wanted him to see her as a woman.
