Romance

Read this classic romance by New York Times bestselling author Penny Jordan, now available for the first time in e-book! Once bitten…

Rue didn't need a man in her life. She didn't want one, either. The past had taught her only too well the chaos that love could bring. She was happy enough, building her small dried-flower business and learning to enjoy life on her own. Neil Saxton, however, seemed determined to break down all her defences. Neil made it clear that he wouldn't take no for an answer when he offered to buy her land.

But somehow, Rue got the distinct feeling that it was more than her property he was after…
