Once burned, twice shy Kristin had been an innocent in Oklahoma falling for her boss's flattery -- and had been badly hurt. In New York she held everyone at arm's length--everyone, that is, except for one person. And that was when she realized with a shock that history seemed about to be repeating itself -- with her new boss, Seth Richards! So when Kristin was given the chance to accompany him to Rome on an assignment, she refused. Then she discovered that her job and her apartment depended on her acceptance. But would she be able to resist the warm sensuality of Rome in autumn and Seth . . . ?
