About the book
THEY WERE ENEMIES RIGHT FROM THE START. Lee's encounter with Haydn Scott, before she knew who he was, was a stormy one. Later she was horrified to disccover that the arrogant stranger was a friend of her brother, Jon. Jon was delighted to have Haydn's advice about Polrewin-the flower farm he and Lee had put back on its feet. Lee could only see him as the manager of the huge Scott Nurseries getting ready to take over Polrewin. She would never surrender to Haydn-either the farm or herself!
