Twilight Embrace — Jennifer Rose

Lovely widow Laurel Campion was living a lie -- and Doug Stewart knew it. Bursting into her staid country-club life, Doug saw the yearning beneath her ice-cool veneer. But he didn't see how isolated Laurel was from her late husband's wealthy world -- or how much loneliness she had endured. Laurel knows Doug wants her -- but her tenderness has been numbed by years of self-control. Only his burning caress can melt the icy reserve that has shielded her from pain ... and passion. He inspires her secret fantasies -- but will they become reality or vanish into nothing -- leaving her alone as before.
