Did she look a likely candidate for a summer fling? In fact, she was a candidate for the bar. A beautiful young widow, Melissa Bennett intended to become her father-in-law's corporate attorney and return to make her home with him and her little daughter in Alaska.

And now they were thrown together, guests on a sumptuous La Jolla estate. A dangerous opponent in court, a practiced charmer in love, Brandon had easily captured her daughter's heart. But Melissa's was another matter. She was determined to put her fascination with Brandon Kade behind her. But once the spark was lit, would she ever be content far from the electrifying circle of Brandon's arms?
