Island of Shells
"Surprise, surprise. There's a woman in there after all!"

But Kathryn knew there wasn't....

Since Derek's rejection, she had felt like a shell, and she had no intention of ever exposing her heart to hurt again! Rex Panther could stalk her as much as he wanted, he could try to crack her ice-maiden image, but she would not succumb.

Kathryn knew they had no future together--how could they? So Rex must never know that she was beginning to fall in love with him....

Hero: Rex Panther
Heroine: Kathryn Ashby
