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)
