Love has no price. Brooke Beauclere was under no illusions. To Adam Henderson she was an object of fleeting desire—upper class, stunningly beautiful, elusively tantalizing—a suitable conquest for an over-confident male with a fortune at his disposal. Oh, how she longed to teach him a lesson for his arrogant assumption that she could be purchased—at any price! Why, he was no more feeling than the high-society snobs who'd once humiliated him for his working-class roots. Against all reason, Brooke was attracted to him and running from the time when she might reveal her love and risk losing Adam completely.
