author: Johnson, Doris
description: A Mystery Man...
  College professor Ava Millington nearly gasps the first time she sees Cole Dumont. Big, darkly handsome, and solid as a rock, he's gorgeous, and if she believes what people say, he's always been a magnet for trouble. . .
  
  
  Plus A Beautiful Woman...
  Cole feels depression crushing him as he returns to the bad memories and raw grief associated with his childhood home. But when the L.A.P.D. detective meets the pretty woman next door, passion sizzles like a lightning bolt through his tortured soul. She's fine and sweet...and she doesn't need a messed up man.
  
  
  Add Up To Desire
  The attraction between Ava and Cole is so strong that before either of them can say no, their lips are whispering yes. But both are keeping secrets, from each other and from the world. And when the shocking truth emerges in this small South Carolina town, will their love become a path to healing and new beginnings...or to heartbreak?
