Charlotte and Daniel had talked about him in such glowing terms but he sounded like an insufferable chauvinist. She wondered how she'd manage to sit through dinner with him tomorrow night let alone spend a whole week in his company...Outwardly Dr Nick Delaney has it all - the most successful veterinary practice in the district, a host of loyal clients and friends, and muscular good looks cementing his position as Bowral's most eligible bachelor. According to the local rumour mill Nick's sad past is the reason his 'bachelor' tag is probably here to stay - that is until the beautiful, cultured and feisty Jordana Talbot comes to town, fleeing a past of her own.The second in Diana Thompson's Bowral series, Unbridled Passion sheds more light on the strong undercurrent of romance and drama in the deceptively placid Southern Highlands of New South Wales."Do you think he' ll be alright?" she said, looking at the injured stallion...

There were many things Charlotte believed were beyond her now - a happy marriage, children, and her dream of starting an art school at Ranleigh Park. Certainly, she'd never thought she'd desire anyone again, especially not the playboy art-dealer she'd only just met... "Her hand was tiny but her grip was firm and he held it for as long as it took to deliver the best knockout million dollar smile he could muster.
