Settling the Score

Summary: Romy Salisbury was everything he despised in a woman
Review: Dominic smiled - a cold smile - as his mind lingered on the pleasure and the retribution he was going to exact in the next few days.

He had waited five years for his moment and now it was here. It was high time that he settled the score with the delicious Miss Romy Salisbury.

Dominic was best friend to Mark, who Romy was supposed to marry. The day before the wedding, Romy and Dominic get trapped in an elevator briefly and their instant attraction is so strong - they don't know who the other is - that they become intimate, although not all the way. Romy still marries Mark and Dominic feels as if he was used, and also says he despises Romy for her "promiscuity" - the way she threw herself at him. Of course, she was and is a virgin, since Mark had cancer and suffered and died soon after the wedding. So Dominic lures, Romy to him, she being a party planner, to try to get revenge.

The whole storyline is unique. But Sharon Kendrick writes an intense plot and the characters are interesting. Nice.
