Promises

Shy and self-doubting, Alexandra doesn't ask much of life. She exists quietly in a small seaside village in Wales, working in the local library and keeping company solely with 'Roger,' her vibrator. When Roger breaks down, she must go to the city to seek out his replacement. Alex's visit goes spectacularly awry when she stumbles into the wrong hotel room, where she enjoys a blissful interlude with the room's rightful occupant, Solomon, who she initially mistakes for a vivid dream. Sol's skills quickly render Roger obsolete, but Alex isn't about to let a man-not even one as gorgeous as Sol-get under her skin. Relationships are not for the likes of her. Sol, a notorious playboy and multi-millionaire hotelier, isn't about to let her go so easily-not until he's had his fill of her. Posing as a simple carpenter, he rents the house next to Alex in Brindley Bay. His plan is to conquer her quickly and return to his real life in a week or so. But Alex is nothing like his other women. For a start, she's not interested in money. More than that, serious money makes her extremely uncomfortable. And she values honesty above all else. Before he knows it, Sol has promised to love her forever-a promise he fully intends to keep. But what will Alex do when she inevitably uncovers the elaborate skein of lies he has spun, simply to bed her?
