AFRAID OF LOVE by Nancy Silk is a dramatic story most women can relate to at any age. The main character, Paula Stillman is in her early 20's and raised on her family's farm in Canada.Paula is devastated when her parents are killed in a violent car accident. She flees from the family ranch, finds a roommate and becomes an artist/writer.Paula wants a stable relationship, yet is frightened of committing and wants to keep her relationships platonic.Leon Hunter, a successful businessman, tries to seduce Paula to satisfy bets he has made with other men. Frightened by him,  Paula returns to the family ranch to rebuild her relationship with her sister, Margaret.Ultimately, Paula learns she must overcome her fears of preying men, whose only goal is to use and abuse her.This is a touching story and I look forward to the next book in the series EMBRACED BY LOVE by Nancy Silk.
