Paula Grayson controlled a publishing empire. At twenty-eight she was a beautiful, powerful woman, too powerful for most of the men she knew--until Gregory Scott entered her life.
Paula had no plans for romance when she met Gregory. They were adversaries, playing for high stakes in a legal battle neither could afford to lose, a battle that would bring them together and wrench them apart--a battle that would teach a woman who thought she knew everything, the startling 'facts of love'.
