He'd fallen in love with a portrait of Diana Machlen, but when Adam Daniels finally came face-to-face with his fantasy woman at her remote cabin in the Ozarks, he found a flame-haired wildcat with a shotgun! Diana's coffee grounds had warned her that a lover's kiss would be coming soon, but she knew it was impossible, that no man could be brave or stupid enough to dare loving her... until this infuriating rogue with wicked blue eyes mesmerized her, filled her with yearning -- and hope. Adam was enchanted when the fierce goddess of fire and ice confessed that passion for her had always meant disaster -- but soon he had the bruises to prove it! Still he insisted they were magic together, that no dark omens could shadow their sizzling ecstasy, but Diana was afraid to surrender her secrets. She was all his dreams that had never come true, but could he convince her he'd never belonged anywhere but in her arms?
