One woman stood out,

an exotic flower, among the cool elegance at the

Washington cocktail party. Creative, full of life and

unconventional - Shelby Campbell is nothing like any

woman ambitious politician Alan MacGregor has

ever known!

The cynical senator was determined to pursue the

attraction that tugged at his senses and discover why Shelby wanted to keep him at arm's length. But, given

her past, could Alan really convince Shelby that their night of passion could become a lifetime together?
