About the book
'If you start fancying yourself in love with me, you're out.' Matt Fielding might be impossibly arrogant, but his stipulation suited Ann just fine. Bitter experience had taught her to steer clear of the limelight - all she wanted was to concentrate on the prestigious job he was offering. But he needn't think he could walk all over her, either...so perhaps it was inevitable that sparks would fly!
