(ORIG 03/02) Awkward, insecure Grace Jenkins has had little experience with men. But that hasn't stopped her from dreaming hard about Noah Harper. Gorgeous, strong, and darkly sexy, Noah has a rough edge beneath his polish that promises no mercy in the bedroom. When Grace learns Noah's engagement has ended in scandal, she shyly offers him her support and her friendship. But Noah's looking for something extra. Noah wants Grace-badly. He wants to possess those curves that go on forever, to savor her sweet innocence, to take her to the limits of white-hot desire again and again. What he doesn't want is anything more complicated than that, and he knows Grace is a woman who deserves better. Grace, however, knows exactly what she needs-the kind of ecstasy only Noah can give her. Brazenly, she accepts his offer, and Noah promises to make all her secret fantasies come true.
