Struggling Dublin artist Shannon Butler is in the middle of a hugely successful show at her gallery when estranged family member Marius Winters appears, hell-bent on revenge. After years away from Ireland, he turns up to accuse her of robbing him of his rightful share of the family estate.

Shannon faces a battle of wills as Marius tries to paint her as the guilty party, all the while ignoring the darker forces at work against them both, determined to keep them apart no matter what the cost.

As Marius starts to thaw towards her despite his reservations, Shannon finally has to admit to herself that she's falling hopelessly in love with the magnetic Marius Winters. That she has always loved him. And that now they've found each other again, she never wants to let him go.

Just when Shannon thinks they have a future together at last, Marius' ex-wife comes to her with a story so shocking, it could well destroy any chance of happiness she and Marius might have. Does she dare did deeper into Marius' past, or will the skeletons in their family closet bury their new-found love forever?

Shannon began to push in through the front door of her cottage when it was yanked open. She jumped back in alarm, then relaxed slightly to see it was only Marius towering over her in the doorway.

"You're home early. What's the matter, your boyfriend Tim not up to an all-night session?" he sneered as he pulled her inside roughly by the elbow.

"I wasn't with Tim!" she protested, shaking him off.

In fact, she had forgotten all about her unpleasant dinner with the other man. She wondered if she should explain about the packet of letters Tim had purloined from Marius' ex-wife Maggie, but restrained herself. He was obviously in no mood to deal with any aggravation of that sort at the moment.

"Oh please, spare me the innocent act. I've seen it before, remember! I saw you with him. I was inside the gallery. Now you come home at nine in the morning, looking like something the cat would turn its nose up at, and have the gall to tell me you were alone last night?" Marius roared, shaking her.

"Marius, you have no right. You're...."

"What am I?" he shouted in agony. "I don't know any more! I've lost myself somewhere. Just when I thought I'd found the real me again, when happiness was within my grasp if I had the courage to stretch out my hand and reach for it, it's all been swept away. All of this has been like an earthquake. I've had the foundations of my life torn apart and now I'm left with nothing but devastation behind. And it seems I was al wrong anyway, with you acting like a whore."

The bitterly accusatory word stung Shannon into losing control at last.

Before she even realized her hand had moved, her palm made blistering contact with his lean hard cheek.

"Damn you, Marius, I was at Rosie's! Pick up the phone and ring if you don't believe me! And I don't care if you do or not! I'm a grown woman who makes my own decisions. Give me credit for some common sense, not to mention taste. Do you seriously believe I could sleep with a user like Tim? And even if I had, what the hell gives you the right--"

Something in his eyes told her that he was about to make it his right. Oh Lord, he was actually going to kiss her...

Reviews

"This novel has everything you could want from a contemporary romance: a lovely heroine we can identify with; a sexy hero who exudes testosterone from every pore, but can be a "new man" when he lets himself go; and an almost insurmountable obstacle to their happiness.

There is also mystery and intrigue, and some gorgeous descriptive language. I was moved to tears by the couple's plight, and exultant at the end. Fast-paced, suspenseful, I was hooked from the moment the incredible Marius Winters walked into Shannon's gallery raising hell. Enjoy!"

From Amazon: Five star reviews:

A reader from Dublin, Ireland
It sizzles! Nothing like forbidden love and high tension to make a book move! A real ripper from start to finish! What a hunky man! And a cracking good heroine too! More like this one, please!

A reader from Manchester, England
A great read, sexy!!
Sizzling from start to finish. I really enjoyed every word of it, and couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Great characters-can't wait to see more from this author.

The editor, S McNally
A great new talent in the world of contemporary romance
The trouble with genre romances is that they can be very predictable. The formula might sell, but do we really all want to read the same books? Or be censored? Confess! How many of you out there have submitted manuscripts to certain romance lines which shall remain nameless, only to be told that you have broken some of their official or unofficial taboos?

But brilliant romance writing speaks for itself, and as an editor I was not about to stifle this hot new talent's creativity. Look no further for real heroes and heroines, suspense and the thrill of falling in love, even in the face of the most overwhelming obstacles.
