The Scent of Lilacs — Joan Hohl

ON THE HUNT...

The moment Jake met Gayle he decided that she would fit into his plans perfectly. Having set out to acquire a suitable mother for his daughters, he had no idea that he would come to desire Gayle's naive sensuality and alluring femininity for himself.

But Gayle was terrified of all men, ever since she'd had a frightening experience as a teenager. When Jake's sea-green eyes betrayed his intense interest, she felt like his prey and bolted. Jake had to prove that he would never hurt Gayle...that his pursuit would be gentle; her surrender complete.

Hero: Jacob ( Jake) Munger
