Proud Surrender

About this book

What terrible grief has driven wealthy Sean Bridges to rugged isolation in the North Carolina mountains? Teri MacKinley wants his help on her folklore project, but she can't stand his fierce hostility. Still, she's drawn by his powerfully masculine physique, by his hauntingly tender gaze. And she longs to vanquish his pain... Sean's furious. Teri's interfering in his life--shaming him into politeness, daring him to open his heart... arousing a desire lie struggles to suppress. Yes, she's beautiful and determined, proud and protective--everything a man could want. But what's the use of loving when it won't bring back his dreams?
