'Laura wasn't surprised when she saw Dirk Thornton with a glamorous brunette: her estranged husband's reputation as a womanizer was well-known to her. But she was shocked by her feelings for Dirk--they weren't dead at all and, what was more, he knew it!

Soon Dirk, a top Sydney criminal lawyer, was pursuing her relentlessly, but Laura couldn't forget that she'd been unable to conceive his child--which meant that there could be no future for them. Why then was she still tempted to accept Dirk's simply outrageous proposal?' (Publisher's blurb)

Kate had made the best of things. At thirty, she was a single, successful career woman, certain that she just didn't have what it took to charm a man. But then Roy Fitzsimmons came along, and threw her convictions to the wind. A beautiful guy like him couldn't possibly be interested in her, so why was he asking her for a date? Soon Kate was sure that her wariness was justified - Roy had to be earning his living by hiring himself out to lonely women! The trouble was, she was fast falling under his spell. What could she do to resist? - back cover (Sydney, 1994)
