She had reason to distrust him...
Jason Windard's sudden reappearance in Laura's life proved how little she knew about her ex-husband.

But her uncle's detective had proved her wrong. Now Jason was being introduced as the construction king who would save her uncle's business...

Surely, only a fool would believe the past could be brushed aside where a man like Jason was concerned!
