Second Time Loving — Penny Jordan

Once bitten, twice shy

No man would make a fool of Angelica again -- not after the way Giles had treated her.

She certainly wasn't interested in the attractive and charming Daniel Forbes. Although Daniel was at least honest enough not to offer her protestations of undying love.

But when he let Angelica know -- in a way that only Daniel could -- that he found her a highly desirable woman, Angelica finally began to realize just how hard it was going to be to resist this man's brand of persuasion.

Mills & Boon UK Version

'I was simply wondering if there was a man in your life who might object to the fact that I find you a highly desirable woman.'

Daniel Forbes was attractive, charming and made no secret of the fact that he would welcome Angelica in his bed. And at least he was honest enough not to offer her protestations of undying love. But, after Giles and the way he had used her and lied to her, Angelica had no intention of letting any other man make a fool of her -- once bitten, twice shy was her motto for the future. But she hadn't realised how hard she would find it to resist Daniel's brand of persuasion.

Hero: Daniel Forbes
