SOMETIMES LOVE...
Structural engineer Karin Williams has battled male prejudice before, but never
from anyone as rude as Rowan Marsden. The undeniably sexy Brit was obviously
expecting a man to step off the plane in London, and it's clear from the start
that he's not going to give her a break.. Determined to prove her skill, Karin
ignores the tense working conditions, but the living conditions are another story!
Forced to share a trailer with Rowan, Karin must face his intrusion in her work,
as well as the attraction she feels for a man sure to break her heart.

... IS THE GREATEST VICTORY OF ALL
If Rowan had his way, he'd never work with a woman again. Yet as Karin
demonstrates her talent on the job, he cannot deny his growing respect
for her--or his desire. One night of passion in the willowy brunette's arms is
an irresistible temptation, but he won't risk a lasting commitment. Until
a frightening accident at the project site threatens Karin's life,
and proves that even Rowan is destined to love...
