Heroine Heather is a model who dislikes men ever since she found out her fiancé only wanted to marry her for her money. (She gets her revenge by making men believe she's interested in them and then dumping them.) Heather's cousin Jennifer wants her to meet hero Race Williams, a writer who is the director of the Rio modeling contract she is interested in. (Race is determined to meet Heather and take her to bed. He's been crazy about her ever since he saw her picture. Heather keeps rejecting him, but he will not be put off.)

Heather decides she needs a break and wants to get away from London and the ever persistent Race so she agrees to go to an isolated cottage in Scotland after her cousin Jennifer talks her into it. After Heather gets there, who should show up but Race. (Heather had been set up by her cousin Jennifer who thinks this is a good and romantic idea.) While Heather is at the cottage she becomes snowbound with Race. Tensions flare up, they make love...

Race was a jealous, possessive hero, which I always enjoy. But there were times he was moody and unkind. Heather was a likable heroine. Her aunt and uncle were nice. (They took Heather in at thirteen when her parents died in an avalanche). Their son Neil was in love with Heather, which added some extra tension to the story. (This made Race very jealous.)

I enjoyed this older Harlequin Presents by Penny Jordan. ( )
