Elise Sterling (who's 27) is a physiotherapist and has five years of experience in spinal injury treatment. She has just accepted a job (her first job living abroad, in France) as a live-in physio to Luc de Rozanieux (34). Luc was recently in a car crash and hurt his spine. He is paralyzed from the waist down and is in a wheelchair. He now needs intense therapy and time to heal. Luc arrives home from the hospital, meets his new physio Elise, and starts his therapy hoping he will regain the use of his legs.

At times Luc and Elise don't get on well at all. Luc is very sarcastic and angry towards Elise, obviously upset about being in a wheelchair and needing therapy, and he takes his frustrations out on her. There was alot of bickering. But I did enjoy their verbal sparring. Luc was also a jealous hero, especially when he thought Elise was getting too close to his doctor (Dr. Dercourt). And then there was the other woman, Chantal. Then Elise's ex-fiancé shows up...

This was an enjoyable read with lots of tension and nice settings---the French chateau, the winery/vineyards.… (altro)

-J'ai changé et mûri, Gordon, tu ne me fais plus peur!
-Eh bien, prouve-le, Alyne. Embrasse-moi!
Le coeur battant, Alyne fixa la bouche sensuelle et virile, et se sentit au bord du vertige. Comment pouvait-elle être encore attirée par cet homme insensible? Son apparence de gentleman cachait un être odieux et sans scrupules. Ne l'avait-il pas séduire alors même qu'il était marié? A présent, il revenait la harceler, la troubler. Pourquoi s'intéressait-il à elle alors que d'autres, si nombreuses, ne rêvaient que d'une aventure avec lui?… (altro)
