Rebecca can't get out of Australia fast enough. She desperately wants to leave her relationship with Julian behind her....at all costs. Julian and Rebecca have been in a relationship on and off since high school.  Now - she finds that getting as far away from him is the best way to get Julian out of her life.Rebecca has accepted a job with a New York based firm that will lead her to a job in France. Little does she realize that her adventures will begin during her flight to France. Alain is seated beside Rebecca and is truly smitten with her. The gorgeous Frenchman shared a little `hospitality' with Rebecca during the flight that leaves her `shaken'. Alain asks Rebecca to let him show her around France during her stay.During her conference, Rebecca meets her boss - Maxwell Grant - for the first time. Right away, her boss expresses his disapproval of her relationship with Alain. Despite being a married man, Maxwell lets his interest in having a relationship with Rebecca be known. Even though her head tells her `no', Rebecca does find her boss appealing and obnoxious all at the same time. The demands Maxwell places on Rebecca to be at his beck and call will leave her confused.If having herself torn between two men wasn't tempting enough for Rebecca, she returns at one point to her hotel to find Julian waiting for her. We learn the real reason Rebecca was determined to leave him behind in Australia. Although she finds herself tempted to jump into bed with Julian, Rebecca turns him away. Life just became a little more confusing.Alain finds that he wants to share `more' with Rebecca.....more than just a fling. The wealthy Frenchman has quite the obstacle in his way. If Alain does not marry a French aristocrat to carry on his family's lineage, he will be disinherited from the family vineyard. He sweeps Rebecca off her feet, and is determined to find a way to make a relationship work with the beautiful Rebecca.This book held a mixture of feelings and thoughts for me. I found myself completely dumbstruck at the ending. I seriously was looking for additional pages. Surely the book didn't end the way that it did!! The way Rebecca found herself going from man to man gave me a case of whiplash. Whew!!Now, the relationship with Alain was quite interesting and definitely HOT!! I found myself sucked right into their story. Somewhere along the way though - I was completely `disturbed' by the way Maxwell Grant just swoops into Rebecca's life and assumed he `owns' her. The fact that the two had never met, and his strange instant obsession over her was confusing and a bit creepy. However, I still found myself sucked into the story....wanting to read more.
