Used book – Forbidden Marriage; Scent of Passion, Yvonne Lindsay, Patricia Radisson

Betrayed by her fiancé, a common swindler who ran off after stealing all her money, Gwen has no choice: she must go to Declan Knight to confess that she is on the verge of bankruptcy. With a heavy heart. Because this ruthless businessman has scorned her and refused to speak to her for years. Ever since the night when, blinded by grief, they abandoned themselves in each other's arms to forget the tragedy they had just experienced... Accustomed to the courteous and reserved conversations of the East Coast, Janeen is astonished by the welcome Jordan Crenshaw gives her when she arrives at his ranch: as attractive as he is, how dare this arrogant and authoritarian rancher speak to her as if she were a flighty blonde? Convinced that she won't last a week with this ill-mannered bear, she nevertheless tries to put on a brave face and not respond to his provocations. But she quickly discovers that while it's possible to ignore his sarcasm, ignoring his magnetic and disturbing presence is much more difficult...
