About the book
The things one does for love... First, Lucy agrees to act on her favorite aunt's behalf. She travels into the New Zealand wilderness to persuade Silas Wilder, her aunt's stepson, to kiss and make up--to renew his family ties. Lucy even tries to like Silas, a man who makes it clear from the beginning that apologies are not his style. But when Lucy realizes that Silas's warm caresses, his knowing smiles, are simply meant to discourage another woman, liking the man is out of the question. Because she suddenly discovers she's given Silas her heart!
