Jake Cavender wants Heather Strand on his terms, not on the terms this cool, calculating businesswoman decided would apply to their marriage. But when she learns he's deceived her, she walks. Later, forced to admit to herself that she truly does love him, this modern woman must choose between her head and her heart -- between her dreams and her desires.

JAKS prints are somewhat dated since they are 12 - 15 years old, but some don't show the wear and withstand the test of time. This one sort of walks the fine line. I got a little irked by the arrogance of the female character, but as the book went along it turned out well.
Heather was the headstrong daughter of a hotel owner in Tucson. At 18, the last the family saw of her was her waving bye bye from the back of a yamaha (sheesh JAK, you could have shown some class and made it a Harley, but this was not in the heyday of the Harleys so I shall excuse this!! lol). 10 years later she had come home to assume, what she presumes is the reigns of the family business. Her father is ready to retire and she is itching at the bit to be boss. She also decides that a marriage of convenience - a partnership, is just what she needs so she proposes marriage to Jake Cavendish, her father's business manager. On the night before the marriage, Heather learns she is not to take over the family business, because Jake already owns it and he would be boss, not her. Kicking off her well controlled image, she dons her bike outfits, rolls up to the curb of the church and tells the groom in front of the guests just what she thinks of him.
Naturally, in JAK it is a battle to the end between two headstrong people that find love is the winner.
Some of the action is a little contrived, but on the whole a very pleasant read.

Once a wild child, Heather Strand has matured and returned home to take over her father's hotel and enter into a marriage of convenience with Jake Cavender, her father's second in command. Then the night before the wedding, Heather discovers it was all a lie. Jake owns the hotel. Heather must work through her anger, feelings of betrayal, and newly discovered love for Jake. It isn't until danger appears that Heather and Jake work through their fierce independence.
Krentz is known for her Alpha males and strong-willed females, but Jake and Heather must be the poster children. An exciting tale from start to finish.

I have read the other reviews and I am a little startled at the negative ones. If you are a fan of Jayne Ann, a real fan, you will love this book. She has a way of telling a story that will make your heart skip a couple of beats. I have read hundreds of other authors but if you were to look in my book shelf, Jayne Ann would be the only romantic suspense writer you will find. I thought that the characters were wonderful. The main lady was reckless and strong and the main man was strong, dashing and vulnerable...you can't get any better.

The 'harsher' story line is typical of the writing of the time. Men were rough & tough; the women were headstrong but wanted/needed to be brought to heel by a man strong enough... Read more
