Allison and Grant had always been good friends but the bond was strengthened irrevocably one night in high school, when Grants father beat him up badly. He knew no where else to go, other than to Allison, who nursed him back to health. His innate fears that his urge to dominate, to possess, are inherited from his father and would chase Allison away if she knew, make him hesitate to declare himself to her. Allison is burdened by the fact that she is unable to have children and doesnt make any move to show him her love, because she feels that Grant deserves someone better than she; a woman who would be able to give him more children. The two run around each other on pins and needles, with the relationship getting more explosive and you know something has to give. It does and their relationship undergoes a very drastic change.

This is a wonderful story about two people overcoming their insecurities, by allowing the love begun in friendship to evolve into something even stronger, even beyond their spicy sexual relationship. Each has something that the other needs to be fulfilled and the fact that Allison isnt entirely submissive makes for a very enjoyable, very recommended read.
