Secret of the Stone - Paperback

by Barbara Delinsky (Author)

An artist who coaxes beauty from stone finds her own passion transformed by the touch of one man in this exhilarating romance from the bestselling author.

At only twenty-nine, Paige Mattheson has found success as a sculptor, working from a seaside home in Massachusetts that gives her the solitude and inspiration she craves. But a lot of her buyers are in Manhattan, and it's there that she catches the eye of film editor Jesse Dallas. He can tell from her work that Paige is much more passionate than her poised, self-contained image would have everyone believe. To that end, he poses as her limousine driver to spend the day with her--and see where that takes them.

Shocked by the attraction she has for her driver, Paige feels a longing she never felt before--and surrenders herself to an intoxicating desire. A one-night stand is what both of them wanted and expected. But Paige is unlike any woman Jesse has ever met, and her discovery of his true self will only whet her appetite for more . . .
