Laura is suspicious of all men, and for good reason. She finds it impossible to believe that Zack’s kindness and concern for her is genuine. It’s a convenient arrangement, Zack tells her. She will work for him looking after his house and his daughter. She will have a job, and he will have a housekeeper. She insists that there will be no sex in their relationship, even when he asks her to marry him. They will sleep in separate bedrooms, and he must not attempt to touch her…
For Zack, totally in love with this beautiful woman, it’s the ultimate frustration. Perhaps there will be times when she needs a hug, and then, maybe, a kiss. And after that? Can he awake the fires of passion that he is sure are smouldering beneath her nervous exterior?
