It was the publicity stunt from hell as far as Kirsten Rumm was concerned. She may have been writing the book about her late husband, aeronautical daredevil Demon Rumm, but she didn't see the need to play host to the arrogant bad-boy ac tor starring in the film version's title role. Still, for the good of the project, Kirsten agreed to share her beachfront home with the impossibly sexy screen idol. Any other woman would do anything to be in her sandals, but Kirsten was n't falling for Rylan North, even if he did play his role of male lead to perfection. Rylan was determined to find out what tragedy held this passionate woman back from a second chance at love even if it cost him his reputation.
