from BACK COVER:
Her assignment was reasonably straightforward. At least that's what Coralie Rhodes--working under the name of Lee Roman--expected. She was to go to Bermuda and interview an industrial tycoon.
But that was before she met the tycoon--and more importantly, it was before she met his nephew, Jordan Colyer.
Eight years ago, Jordan Colyer had made his hatred and disgust of her quite clear--and although he didn't seem to recognize her now, it would only be a matter of time. And time was what she didn't have....
from INSIDE COVER:
Lee's heart stood still as she recognized him.
Every instinct told her to run. But there was no way to escape without looking totally undignified.
Dreading that he would realize who she was at close quarters, she watched his approach. But he was smiling lazily down at her, seeing only a woman he wanted to meet, instead of the girl he had hated so much eight years before.
He said softly, "Are you as enamored with this party as you look?" Amusement laced a deep rich voice that set her nerves tingling. "Because if you are, you're in good company." A Canadian accent--resonant, subtle. "And as we're clearly in the minority here--" wryly he directed a glance to Vince and his companions moving sinuously to the pulsing music "--I think we should stick together, don't you?"
