Title: A Man of Few Words
First published: 1993
Description: Breaking The Silence

The moment Kelly Connery saw the cherubic three-year-old, she fell in love. With blond curls and innocent blue eyes, Sean Stuart was irresistible. He was also lagging behind in language development, a matter that concerned Kelly. As speech pathologist at a very exclusive private school, Kelly had been asked to evaluate the little boy who never spoke to his teachers. Her findings were presented in a meeting with Sean's father, one of the most intriguing men in Houston.

There was no warmth in Grant Stuart's gray eyes, no softness in his lean, six-foot body. A seasoned real-estate developer, the man was tough as steel. And when it came to his son, Grant insisted upon the best--Kelly Connery. He wanted her to move into his ranch house and spend the summer tutoring Sean. And he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

It was a golden opportunity for Kelly. The pay was excellent. She adored Sean, and he needed her help desperately. But could she survive a sultry summer under the same roof as Grant Stuart? She never mixed business with pleasure, but with one look at Grant's gorgeous body, all thoughts of business melted away. The man was hot--too hot to handle.
