About this book

"From local girl to international star is a big step for any young woman, and Linda's brilliance as a swimmer, combined with her beauty and charm, make her a coveted prize for both men in her life. Andy Blane, unscrupulous and sophisticated, takes an interest in her career but when she meets the fabulous film promoter Max, life takes a romantic turn. Andy, for reasons of his own, conceals Max's true identity from Linda, but their mutual attraction is proof against his scheming"--Page 4 of cover.

Mia Kay

Wounded FBI agent Gray Harper will honor his dead partner by returning to work-as soon as the Bureau shrink clears him for duty. In the meantime, a long vacation in his best friend's hometown sounds like the perfect distraction. But Nate Mathis has another plan. His twin sister, Maggie, has a stalker, and Gray's the only one Nate trusts to catch the bastard. Admitting she's scared would bring the cavalry, and Maggie Mathis has always taken care of herself. She certainly doesn't need a bodyguard. As far as she knows, Gray's in town to work as the Mathis family's new business manager. That she's always found her brother's friend handsome is something she'll keep to herself. Gray's real job would be a lot easier if he didn't have to keep his intentions from Maggie. It would also be easier if he didn't want to sleep with her. He certainly shouldn't have kissed her good-night. There never should have been a second date. All too soon, the line between responsibility and pleasure blurs. Gray hates to think of Maggie in danger. He hates that he thinks about Maggie too much, and of the day he won't be there to protect her. Secrets aren't easy to keep from those you love, but Gray needs to guard several with his life ... before he risks losing Maggie forever.

Penniless and without prospects, Lord Edmund Debham has returned from war longing for a peaceful life in the English countryside. Then he happens into a rustic tavern and plays a few games of cards for some sorely needed funds, never dreaming that a losing hand will lead him to all he desires. Fiercely independent, Olivia Ormhill hasn't trusted any man since her former fiance betrayed her hopes for happiness. Though at first she believes Edmund to be nothing more than a rakish opportunist, she finds herself overwhelmed by his disarming honesty and his charming demeanor. But when her former fiance returns to take the hot-tempered bluestocking for himself, both Qlivia and Edmund will have to decide how much their unspoken passion is worth--and if they are willing to wager their hearts for true love....
