Taming Natasha

Nora Roberts, Christina Traister

Broken promises, shattered dreams-- the former ballet dancer Natasha Stanislaski left youthful indiscretions far behind when she settled in rural West Virginia. Her way with children made her toy store a success; her fiery temperament kept men safely at bay. The first time Spencer Kimball set eyes on Natasha Stanislaki, he was floored by her exotic beauty. Sensing that a hidden wound was what made Natasha such a tigress, Spence cautiously probed her gentler emotions, nurturing the feelings she both longed for and dreaded. The brash Spence Kimball and his adorable little girl joined forces to nudge their way into her shop... and her closely guarded heart. Spence started to tame Natasha's fears and show her how to love. Slowly he felt her sensuality stir, felt her pain yield to passion. But when he vowed to love her always, make her his wife and the mother of his child, she bristled in terror. What would it take to tame her fears?
