of Twilight Cove is driving the straight-talking, no-

up at the door. Moved by his stubbornness and sincerity,
Kat takes his case, breaking a promise to relax, recoup,
and rethink her solitary life.

willed daughter, but into each others' arms. Though Kat

terrified of confronting a painful secret of her own--one
that will cost her the love of the only man capable of
tearing down the walls she's built around her heart.
