When beautiful, violet-eyed Evelyn MacGregor fled to San Francisco, she thought she had escaped forever the domination of her autocratic guardian, Adam Rawlins. Rolling pie crust and slicing apples in her homey little bakery, The Forbidden Fruit, Eve told herself she had no regrets about refusing Adam's offer of marriage. But no sooner had her business begun to show a profit than a rowdy saloon opened up across the street, and the proprietor of The Original Sin turned out to be none other than Adam Rawlins. With devilish determination he pursued Eve, seducing her with his burning kisses, luring her with temptations no woman could resist. Lost in his arms, Evelyn knew only Adam's hard body could quench the inferno of desires he'd aroused, and take her to a paradise of love.
