Christine Rimmer has such a knack for making me care about her characters. Both Cade and Jane are wonderfully drawn as the bad boy with hidden depths and the good girl who is so much more than she seems. The sexual chemistry is off the charts, and yet there is a sweetness to the story that had me tearing up by the end. Highly recommend!
