After the Fire — Kay Gregory

He had a fatal effect on her heart

Richard Laslo was pretty much the most exasperating man Elf Makepeace had ever met -- he'd been that way since they were children. Now their reactions to each other were very grown-up...but still exasperating.

Stuck in the close confines of a luxury cruise ship, there wasn't much chance for Elf to avoid the handsome, yet persistent, Richard. He was always there, no matter where she turned. And he insisted they should marry. Was it simple convenience or quite simply love?

Hero: Richard Laslo
Heroine: Elfriede "Elf" Makepeace
