What Stormy Surrender is about
Kathryn never wanted to go to Spain, and she has no plan to stay long with her mother's adoptive family. Diego Alvarez is an arrogant man who tells her that love is mainly a matter of imagination. Kathryn sees him as a man without a heart and is determined to resist his outrageous manipulation. The two dislike each other heartily, yet he keeps slipping into her thoughts. Patricia Wilson's 1990 romance builds on that prickly tension between two people who insist they want nothing to do with each other. It will appeal to readers who enjoy enemies-to-lovers stories with a family backdrop.
