Dominic acted as if nothing had happened
As though Christy's adolescent advances had not aroused his anger and contempt. The humiliation of his words had haunted her since and stood between her and all other men.
Her career in London had come to a sudden stop because she had been unwilling to engage in an affair, so her ailing mother's need was reason enough to run home.
The last thing she wanted was to see Dominic Savage. She disliked and despised him. But in the end that proved poor protection against his desires and her own needs.

Re: A Savage Adoration
女主角因為已婚的老闆向她示愛，為了避開老闆所以辭掉工作回老家，沒想到遇到了從小暗戀的鄰居Dominic學成歸國回故鄉開業，Dominic一見到女主角相當開心，沒想到一腔熱情只得到女主角冷淡的回應，男主角以為被討厭，兩人間關係緊張，其實我們的女主角是因為年輕時想向男主角獻身卻被男主角拒絕而很是羞愧，所以無法坦率面對男主角。
沒想到父親要女主角幫忙籌備建設醫院的慈善舞會，兩人避免不了有許多互動，男主角以為女主角與上司有染，在舞會節結束後一怒之下推倒了女主角並撕破了女主角的晚宴裝(啊嘶~)，發現女主角是處之後，震驚之餘說了一些讓女主不好受的話，女主角只好胡謅自己因為和老闆的關係不順利，所以才會失常，不敢說自己是因為暗戀他多年才自願獻身的。
後來誤會解開原來我們男主角年輕時也是愛慕著女主角，只不過因為是鄰居加上當時女主角又太小，所以不敢胡來的，沒想到多年後女主角會這麼避著他。
雖然本書在國外評價不高，女主角很彆扭又不坦率，但是我喜歡這種鄰居+多年暗戀劇情，所以時常翻出來復習，私心五葉推薦。
