description: Instinct warned her to avoid a man like Nick!
  
  But as he was the new owner of the vineyard where Shannon rented a small cottage, their meeting was inevitable.
  
  Life hadn't been easy for Shannon. Supporting her young orphaned niece had left her little time for male friends and someone like Nick was totally beyond her experience. She quickly discovered he had the power to disturb her emotions and she realized the danger of allowing him into her life.
  
  Nick Stanich, however, didn't wait to be invited. He took over, commanding and demanding. And in spite of her best intentions, Shannon soon found herself responding!
  
  Hero: Nick Stanich
  Heroine: Shannon Fitzgerald
