It is said that a week is a long time in politics. It is even longer when it is part of your life. After months of recovery from a savage beating, Donavan Keane's amnesia had abated somewhat, but his full memory had not returned. As a wealthy real estate and financial magnate with numerous deals on the go, Van knew he had lost much more than time.
Seeking revenge and a final opportunity to win the Tasmanian luxury resort that he had lost his bid on while in hospital, Van returns to The Palisades at Stranger's Bay and asks the lovely Susannah Horton to meet him there.
While one part of her doesn't want to go, her heart does, and Susannah skips out on meeting with Alex Carlisle, the man she is soon to wed and whose family hotel chain will do much to support her new developing business of high end personal concierge services, to see Van. While her body instantly responds to him, her mind is shocked at his caddish behaviour and the fact that after all the passion they shared together, he seems hardly able to recognize her at all.
Confident in her new role and used to controlling her emotions as long time member of Melbourne's society, Susannah stays cool and flatly rejects Van's new bid while trying to understand what Van was really up to in coming back to her part of the world after he dropped her so abruptly. Whatever it was, she was determined not to be disappointed again and tries to leave the resort to get back to Alex before it was too late.
Thwarted from leaving by a tempestuous storm, Van schemes to stop Susannah from signing on to her new deal and to get revenge by running her engagement. Will he win what he came for? Can the engagement ring on Susannah's finger stay or will her heart be lost?
The talented Bronwyn Jameson has created another wonderfully steamy and suspenseful millionaire tale that is a spin-off from her Princes of the Outback Series, yet a strong read on its own. See for yourself if these two strong and passionate former lovers can sort though their misunderstandings, despite the risks involved!
