"Old lovers make very good advisers." Or so Kirby Waterford's friends told her. However, Kirby (widowed a year earlier) wasn't sure she could trust Damian Holt's advice or his motives. Damian was a wildly successful businessman, with a reputation for ruthlessness. He was also the man she'd loved as a teenager, not that they'd actually been lovers. He was the man who'd rejected and humiliated her... But Kirby really had no choice. She needed Damian's help if Waterford Electronics, her late husband's company, was to survive. More than that, she needed his love if she was to survive.
