Title: Noonfire
Description: It hadn't been very easy for Rory, after her parents' divorce when she was a child, to live with her rather difficult mother - and with mother's brainwashing about the iniquities of men. They were all ruthless, selfish and dangerous, and women in general - and Rory in particular - would be better off without them. Now her mother was dead, and Rory was facing the world - and men - alone. It didn't help matters that the first man to come into her new life - the dynamic Rian McCullum - seemed every bit as disturbing, dangerous and dominating as her mother had declared. There was no denying his attraction. But was Rory in any state to defend herself against him?
