Shadowed Stranger

Read this classic romance by USA Today bestselling author Carole Mortimer, now available for the first time in e-book!

More than infatuation…?


Sweet, naïve Robyn Castle knows that eminent doctor Rick Howarth is the wrong man for her! He’s older, more sophisticated, experienced…and so sinfully delicious that he should be illegal! Despite their differences, enigmatic Rick seems just as infatuated with Robyn as she is with him… Until Rick suddenly leaves.

Heartbroken, Robyn assumes it’s because he’s married and refuses to be the other woman! Getting over him is her top priority. But when Rick comes unexpectedly back into her life, Robyn soon realises that moving on from the passion between them is easier said than done…
