'Carissa Grace can play a downright dreamy Chopin nocturne. But her own dreams have fizzled in the hot Australian summer. Her fiancé’s gone and she must be the last twenty-six-year old virgin this side of the Pacific. Until she meets hunk Bill Jamieson, whose warm whisky voice and hard-packed masculinity arouses her interest… and her desire.

'Though their one-night stand leaves her yearning for more, when she discovers she’s pregnant, it’s no-strings, millionaire Bill who’s humming the wedding march. Too bad their marriage is in name only, because she’s falling for his soul-searing kisses and generous heart. But Bill is haunted by his past. Can she heal this emotionally scarred man and turn their marriage into the intimate relationship they both need?'
