Teacher Brenda Harrison is nervous about her summer job writing a book for wealthy racecar driver, Alexander Stone. Once she meets him she falls hopelessly in love but hides it while completing the book for Alexander's parents' anniversary. As a sports car designer, racecar driver, and heir to an impressive collection of rare and valuable antique cars, Alexander wants this book to be absolutely perfect. He has little faith in her ability to write competently about cars. He feels she is unqualified but when she encourages him to follow his dream of designing cars and proves to be a very capable and savvy writer, he begins to change his mind. Once he realizes he loves her, he wants her to give up her job as a teacher in a tough, inner-city school and become his full-time wife. She is devastated that he wants her to give up her goals and career. It looks as though their worlds are falling apart. However, their love for each other helps them to make the necessary compromises and realize that both their dreams have come true.

If you have yet to read a book by Ms Burton, you don't know what you are missing. This lovely lady tells stories that keep you turning every page. Never do you want to put the book down nor do you ever want it to end. They are stories that you wish to continue on and on. And the next day you awake still having those characters inside your head. I fell in love with Brenda and Alex and kept wondering when the two were going to come to their senses and finally get together. I loved the way that Alex would go to the school to see her and help out with her activities. This was a love story; one that everyone should read. This is a five stars two thumbs up book!! An incredible writer, another incredible story. I would recommend this sweet love story to one and all. It was so wonderful!!

I just finished reading The Tycoon and it was great. The descriptions of the couple's conflicting thoughts are wonderful. The inclusion of many time elements make it so much more exciting. I couldn't put the book down.

I found this book to be a page-turner. The characters were likable, the conflict believable and the content interesting. I like the way the one antique care was woven into the story. When I reached the end of the story, I wanted to read more but it had ended! I recommend this sweet romance to all.
