About the book
Hurt and embittered when her fiance broke their engagement on the eve of the wedding, Shelly Jenner had vowed never to get emotionally involved with a man again. Certainly not with someone like Craig Allard, who represented everything she most disliked in a man. He was critical, carping, and made it clear that her feminine charms did nothing for him. "I may have had my heart broken," Shelly said slowly, "but it hasn't left me heartless. I could never, ever marry without love!"
