AVRIL TREMAYNE is an award-winning author of sexy, modern, urban romances, featuring heroes strong enough to make any woman swoon and stronger heroines who nevertheless refuse to do so. She took a circuitous route to becoming a writer, via careers in nursing, teaching, public relations and corporate affairsâmost recently in global aviation, which gave her a voracious appetite for travel. She currently lives in Sydney, Australia, but is feverishly plotting to move her family to Italy for half of every year. When sheâs not reading or writing Avril can be found dining to excess, drinking lots of wine and obsessing over shoes.

Contents
VERONICA WAS STARTING to think rereading Wuthering Heights before this trip to Yorkshire hadnât been such a good idea. She was finding it impossible not to compare Rafael Velez, sitting six pews in front of her, to Heathcliffâwho was, of course, a prime asshole, albeit a magnetic one.
And once sheâd started down that path, it was inevitable that sheâd wonder if that made her some version of Cathyâwho, sure, was intriguing, but had been stupid enough to leave the action halfway through the novel by dropping dead of a Heathcliff-inflicted broken heart. And Veronica wasnât having any of that drop-dead-of-a-broken-heart crap!
In fact, she considered herself to be walking, talking proof that a woman did not drop dead of a broken heart. She hadnât dropped dead seven years, two months, three weeks and five days ago when Rafael had decided the most appropriate graduation gift he could offer after living with her for three and a half fucking years was to run out on her. And she wasnât going to drop dead today, despite the bloodlust flushing through every cell in her body just because she could see the back of his damn head!
