""Without a word he moved in my direction, a bit like a panther circling its dinner, wrapped one arm around my waist firmly, his right hand touching my cheek, and pinned me against the wall, avidly kissing my mouth."" Playful, affectionate and commanding, Jack Holden is a photographer that knows what he wants out of life: To be happy. When he meets Liz Harper--after she turns up at his door to get her picture taken--he knows he wants her. For a night, a week, a year, it makes no difference. Being with her makes him happy so he wants her, all of her. Liz broke up with her college boyfriend just the week before she meets Jack. Confused and a little uncertain about simply jumping into a stranger's bed, she hesitates to accept his invitation to have dinner at his house. Despite her doubts, she can't resist seeing him again and jumps head first into a hot, feverish relationship with Jack.
