Virgin or wanton...? Oliver Lee is a man with a shadowed past. He is suspicious of everything and everyone...so when he meets Fliss, he thinks her innocence is an act. Fliss may be innocent, but when Oliver's around she can't help behaving as if she is a woman of the world. Fliss is tempted to throw caution to the winds, because life with Oliver seems to offer such exciting possibilities. The passion he inspires in Fliss is just like raw silk—beautiful, unique and desirable. But like raw silk, it is fragile.... Only love will help it survive.
