Meet Henry: a man dedicated to love and all it entails. He knows a lot about women, if only from the books he's read; but at sixty, he's found himself alone.

Then there's Daisy: recovering from an unhappy past and determined to be self-sufficient, she's learnt that trust only leads to weakness. But there will always be a part of her that yearns to be cared for once more.

It is this part that Henry sees, and with calculated patience he works at her defences. It will take everything Daisy has to resist him, and stop herself from falling under his spell . . .
