One woman's carefully constructed life faces a passion that breaks all her rules in this sizzling romance from the New York Times-bestselling author. Market research analyst Corinne Fremont knows herself well. After she and her sister were abandoned by their carefree parents, and their grandmother stepped in to raise them, the last thing Corinne wants is uncertainty--even if it means repressing her own desires . . . But then Corey Haraden barges into her life. A friend of her boss, the hotel developer has a reputation as a player who lives--and loves--fast. He's exactly the kind of man Corinne knows to avoid. She just doesn't count on Corey making himself unavoidable. Intrigued by Corinne's aloofness, Corey hires her for an on-location project at his home base of Hilton Head, hoping to learn more about her. Even with her guard up, Corinne is blindsided by his warmth and wit--enough to second-guess her first impression of him. And suddenly all-work-no-play Corinne finds herself craving Corey's laugh, his spontaneity, and most of all, his reckless passion . . . Praise for Barbara Delinsky "Delinsky's writing is fluid and makes for a hard-to-put-down book." --Glamour "Delinsky is a first-rate storyteller who creates believable, sympathetic characters who seem as familiar as your neighbors." --The Boston Globe "Delinsky writes about the emotional crises of everyday people and how those trials shape relationships." --The Cincinnati Enquirer
