How could penniless socialite Mallory Morgan accept Gabriel Steele's charity? But Gabriel wasn't used to taking no for an answer. And the infuriatingly arrogant man wasn't above using his devastating sex appeal to get what he wanted.
Gabriel intended to take care of Mallory, leaving her no choice but to succumb to his wishes. But that didn't mean she couldn't try to tame her keeper....
Jean M. Heaton, alias Caroline Cross, lives and write just outside of Seattle with her husband and daughters, one very large hairy dog and one picky little Siamese cat.
She says: "I will never forget the first time I read a Silhouette Desire. An avid reader of everything *except* category romance, I was surprised to find myself swept up in the magic of two strong people falling irrevocably in love against all odds. It was both a moving and exhilarating experience, and one I do my best to recreate for my readers. For me, every new book is an adventure. I love strong, larger-than-life heroes, heroines with the courage to take chances, the roller coaster ride of two special people coming together – and always, happy endings."
Mallory Morgan's father had stolen from people, including her, taking all her trust fund then running off to a different country. She was left poor, unable to cope without any job experience and renting a place in such a disturbing area that she was afraid for her life. That's when Gabriel Steele stepped in, he had been in love with her since he met her. As Gabriel discovers more about her, her father and the predicament he left his daughter in and what a golden heart she has, he decides he doesn't want her to leave him.. ever!
The book was cheap, I know it's apart of a series but most of these books could be stand alones. I don't know if other books give more information on Mallory or Gabriel but this precise book offered very little background. I know it wasn't horrible or worth disliking, it's just that without the background into the character, it's hard to relate to them on an emotional level.
