"Have you ever looked at a photo of some cool society blonde in a magazine? You know, the ones with perfect hair, perfect clothes and perfect pedigree? Those always-composed creatures who don’t seem quite as human as the rest of us? I have, and for most of my life, I considered them mere curiosities. 

Then one day, I saw a tabloid shot of one of these blondes engaged in a very public brawl with her lover and every one of my preconceptions came to a screeching halt. Not only was she a real person, she was interesting. It made me wonder what else lay behind the elegant facade worn by these women who seem to have everything, what dreams, what pain…what passion. 

And that was how Victoria Callaghan came to be, cool blonde and imperfect human being. As for Caleb Callaghan—well, he simply bulldozed his way over me. (I had to hand over the task of taming him to Victoria.) I hope you enjoy reading about the fall of just about the most stubborn hero you’ll ever meet!"
