Jenaqueta Silva and Caleb Harland What ever made her think she could take this man on? Persuade him to change his mind? Guts, he thought. Brave and foolish, not a good combination. In the back of his head he lodged the fact her courage was fuelled by loyalty. She came to his office to tell him, well, actually, ordered him not to date Melanie, her cousin's fiancee! Except the engagement was not 'official'....

Love is the glue: it makes people want to keep their commitment to someone, no matter what happens, just a shame that Regan and Gray's relationship was based upon agreed commitment but trust, honesty and openness was missing from the start. Commitment started when Regan took on Gray, his sister and his grandfather. Regan provided a roof for all of them, and she gave Gray a job on her farm. Commitment was shifting because love was faced with unrevealed undercurrents.

Rafe Harlington and Marina Sojour-D'Sa met at various social functions, moved in similar circles and worked in the medical profession. Marina had initially pursued a career in medicine because of him! For at the ripe old age of fifteen she heard he was at University studying medicine, and that's when she decided to become a medic! The only problem was that he clearly did not see her as a medic. Didn't see her at all, apart from registering the fact that she was simply a socialite temping on his ward. But she loved medicine. Ok, so her reasons for initially choosing were dodgy, but she had put in six hard years, and she loved every moment. Well, nearly every moment. Just as she loved him. Most of the time!

This is the sister book to Compulsion. Captivation presents Caitlin's and Jared's story. The man walking beside her was anything but safe. Nothing like tedious. Jared was the kind of man Caitlin had fantasies about, someone who knew their mind and didn't allow her father's standing in the community to influence their actions. The man who escorted her toward the dance floor was a law unto himself. She'd heard enough about him to know that he took little notice of protocol and even less of status. He was never short of female company. But she was surprised to find that she had registered on his radar. Sadly she had registered for all the wrong reasons, as far as he was concerned.
