Synopsis

The first contemporary novel by New York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney, The Burning Point is a riveting story of the ties that bind two people together—and the incendiary forces that can tear them apart. Kate Corsi always dreamed of working for her family’s world famous explosive demolition business—a wish her old-fashioned father denied until the day he died. According to his will, Kate will receive a fortune while her ex-husband, Donovan, will inherit the family business. But only if they agree to live under the same roof for a year. Forced into a reluctant alliance, Kate and Donovan must discover the truth about her father’s death—and confront the past that almost destroyed them both. And as they face their shattered dreams, their wrenching secrets and bitter resentments, they find themselves sliding perilously toward the burning point where passion catches fire once more. …

Goodreads review by Fernanda on July 10, 2017

digamos que foi literalmente uma grande surpresa como a historia se desenrolou. á partida uma historia simples revestida de segundas oportunidades e um reencontrar do "eu" perdido algures no tempo. a historia desenvolve-se e eis que aparecem então os "fantasmas", as sombras e as duvidas inerentes a to......more
