The modeling world called it the Rana Look...the exotic,
one-of-a-kind allure that only supermodel Rana Ramsey
could deliver. With her green eyes, olive skin, and wildly
lustrous auburn hair, Rana posed for ad campaigns and
strutted down runways all over the world, naming her own
price to sell everything from cosmetics to women's
lingerie.
But all of that suddenly ended one day when she looked her
demanding mother-manager in the eye and said, "Enough."
That was the day Rana packed her things and left New York--
and modeling--forever. Settling in Miss Ruby's
boardinghouse in Galveston, Texas, Rana finds success with
her own business--and cultivates a new look to go with her
new life. Now her beautiful eyes are shielded behind
tinted glasses, her famous figure hidden under shapeless
dresses, her trademark wild hair falling straight down her
back. Rana knows she'll never attract a man this way, and
that's just fine with her--that is, until Ruby's nephew,
football star Trent Gamblin, moves in to nurse his injured
shoulder. Ruggedly handsome, charming, and undeniably
charismatic, Trent is the kind of man that Rana
findsirresistible...the kind of man she is certain would
never look twice at a woman as ordinary as the new Rana.
But to her surprise, Trent seems unfazed by her Plain Jane
look. For he is drawn to a beauty that Rana can't hide. He
is determined to learn the mystery behind the elusive,
reclusive boarder with the secret past. To do so, he
proposes an unusual pact: they will only be friends,
nothing more.As the days pass, Rana and Trent are drawn
together in a sensual idyll unlike anything either of them
has ever known. But the outside world cannot be kept at
bay forever. And Rana fears that when Trent learns the
truth about her past, he'll feel betrayed and deceived.
Even worse, he'll never be able to see her as she truly
is. Then an unexpected tragedy strikes, and the stakes
seem higher than ever. Now they must look deep into each
other's heart to determine if their relationship is just
an impossibly erotic dream--or a dream of love come true.
