Book Description

Blurb

From the back cover of Harlequin Presents #1418, December 1991, US Edition:

Charlotte was afraid to
follow her instincts

At least as far as Oliver Tennant was concerned. After all, how could she respond to a man who was also a business rival? One who just might be playing a deceptive game...?

How many times had Charlotte been told that life would be easier is she learned to trust people? Perhaps Oliver was different.

But even so, what would a country mouse like herself offer a sophisticated man-about-town? Far better to forget about love...

Excerpt

From the inside cover of Harlequin Presents #1418, December 1991, US Edition:

What on earth had she done?

Charlotte became worried. She couldn't share her home with Oliver Tennant, of all men.

Why not? an inner voice demanded acidly. Do you really have so little faith in your own self-respect?

"You're so sensible, Charlie," her ex-fiance had complained. "Always doing the right thing." And though she realized their engagement had been a mistake , there was still a small raw place inside that hurt from time to time; it was hurting now.

Do you honestly believe, the inner voice went on, that just because you'll be living under the same roof, you're likely to do something stupid, like...?

Like what? she asked herself, bitterly. Like fall in love with him? Of course she wouldn't; she was far too sensible for such folly.
