Once Bitten, Twice Shy — Robyn Donald

Beauty and the beast

Fashion model Simone Atkinson had her reasons for being afraid of men whose guarded expressions hid private demons. Which is why all alarms went off when Angus Grey began his pursuit. He'd obviously convinced himself he knew exactly the kind of woman she was.

Lost in a wasteland of bitter desire, Angus expected a greedy little sensualist, but Simone vowed to prove him wrong. Fascinated by his strength, his gentleness, the passion he kept so firmly under control, she was tempted to let down her guard. Dare she give love a second chance?

Mills & Boon

Simone was used to hiding emotions behind a professional mask and it was very rarely that she allowed the facade to slip. But Angus Grey thought he knew the sort of woman she was. After all, weren't all models like the wife who had betrayed him, shallow, deceitful, determined to have admiration at all costs?
Drawn to Angus from their very first encounter, Simone knew that he could play a major role in her life. But was it worth risking heartbreak once more for the faint chance of happiness?

Hero: Angus Grey
