    About this ebook

    A strong, everyday woman who devotes herself to the running of her community’s domestic violence shelter, Diana has little time for romance, especially with a handsome young millionaire who couldn’t possibly understand the struggles and challenges of her life’s work. Yet when Quinton Collins proves that his sincerity and dedication to women’s issues more than equal his looks and charm, their love blooms like a rose...

      Preface

      ***

      Diana Davis is an everyday woman whose heroic work with domestic violence victims is far from commonplace, and it is her noble nature that attracts the attention--and the affection--of millionaire hunk Quinton Collins. Quinton sweeps Diana into a whirlwind romance, one distinguished by the ethereal presence of roses, dancing, gourmet dinners, and the occasional belly buster burger--and always by the aura of tender passion that identifies true love.

      With careful fingers, she touched the scarlet red petals that distinguished this ebullient portrait, taking note of the resemblance shared by this flower and the finest of sparkling rubies. She admired the roundness and rich contours that defined this bud, and she grinned as her senses were further teased with a sweet perfumed scent.

      Dear Ms. Davis, she read aloud, "although we’ve never met, I feel as though I know you. Through my public and active support of the Pineview Women’s Shelter, I’ve received thank you notes from so many women who have found wonderful new lives through the shelter. And as
