Fiery Encounter
He wanted his pound of flesh ... — Despite the desire generated the instant they met, Leon Alexander believed Georgina Gregory was a gold digger who'd used and discarded his nephew after accepting lavish gifts bought with company money. — Determined to collect his due, Leon twisted her boss's arm and whisked Georgina off to Scotland on an interior designer's dream job -- except Leon seemed bent on making it a nightmare. They clearly disliked and mistrusted each other and yet his possessive caresses threatened Georgina's resolve not to break. And Leon's tormented kisses suggested he was finding his declared enemy hard to resist!
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
- Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
- What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
