Tess Rand had just had a rotten day! First, she arrived home to find unrequested workmen fixing her roof, then the kid next door knocked her over with his bike - sending purse, pizza and caged mouse to the ground. But things picked up the moment she stared into Michael Anderson's eyes. This sexy carpenter made her senses tingle and heart beat faster...
But Michael was hiding something. Tess couldn't figure out what, but she knew the signs of deception when she saw them. Still, whenever Michael took her in his arms and showered her with breathtaking kisses, she wanted to believe that she could trust the only man she'd ever loved.
I always quite liked this one. Tess and Michael are both very likeable, and in the first half of the book their romance is really sweet and charming. When Michael's secret comes out (), it all gets a little dramatic, but you really get the feeling that this are two really decent people, and you cannot help but root for them.
