Used Book – Passion and nothing else, Ellen James, Julie Vannel

On the verge of exhaustion, Hallie arrives at Gabe Miller's house, her inconsolable baby in her arms. Ever since she adopted little Lia, the baby has been crying, refusing to eat, and seems to reject her. For Hallie, who has never received much love and imagines herself to be a bad mother, life is about to become unbearable. But suddenly, everything calms down: pediatrician Miller has taken the child, and she smiles at him... Over the course of their visits, a tender bond forms between Lia, Gabe, and Hallie, who feels an unexpected physical attraction growing between her and this reassuring and charming man. In fact, she soon realizes that she is falling madly in love with him. The only shadow on the horizon of her happiness: despite the desire he shows her, Gabe seems to feel only protective feelings for her – at least, nothing comparable to the consuming love he inspires in her. However, she swore to herself that she would marry a man who would offer her what she dreams of: shared passion, nothing less, and nothing else...
