Beautiful Rose MacKenzie was a woman with every advantage that money could buy. From her penthouse apartment high above New York City to her exquisite collection of art to her private fleet of planes, Rose had the world at her fingertips. She was the heiress to the Royal Coachman financial empire, and she had the business acumen to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps.

But Rose’s glamorous world was beginning to wear thin. Where was the romance, the excitement, the passion everyone talked about?

Dan Masters seemed to answer the call.

With an intriguing trail of blue roses and an unforgettable kiss, he insinuated himself into Rose’s life. Sexy and mysterious, Dan knew details about her childhood, he family—even her favorite foods. But he also seemed to know the woman inside; he understood her hopes and fears, her dreams and regrets, her hidden passions.

Rose couldn’t help but be attracted to Dan, but how could she trust her heart? His insights were spooky, his determination frightening. Besides, modern women did not fall in love with strangers who blazed into town with a knowing grin and a fistful of dollars.

She would have to keep her distance. She would have to ignore the glimmer in his eyes, the lilt in his smile, the warmth of his touch.

And most of all, she would have to hide her heart from this man who was so determined to bring a tender rose to full blossom.
