Liam Jameson is a world-famous writer of horror novels. But fame has its price, and now Liam lives reclusively on a remote Scottish island, hiding the scars that notoriety has inflicted on him. When Rosa Chantry - who's on a wild-goose chase to track down her flaky younger sister - doesn't recognise him, Liam is happy to leave it that way. Though his desire for her is strong, his conviction that he will never satisfy a woman again is savage. But Rosa is persistent, and so is Liam's need for her...to have her stay through the night and help him forget his fear that the past has robbed him of his power as a man...
