About this book

A SWEEPING HISTORICAL SAGA - Well, not exactly. Still, for Elspeth Fielding, helping James Murdoch research his eighteenth century novel by living "in period" was a journalist's dream come true, for it gave her an inside look at the wildly successful, frustratingly reclusive writer. Not to mention all that time in the wilds with a devastatingly attractive male. James Murdoch was through with women - or so he thought. Elspeth's humor and enthusiasm throughout the project destroyed his concentration, and soon their old-fashioned arrangement turned into a very modern-day love affair!

Four seconds to lose

K. A. Tucker

"Owning a strip club isn't the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police checking up on him regularly, twenty-seven year old Cain is starting to second guess his silent mission to save these women. That is, until a tiny angel named Charlie walks through his door. Blonde and blue-eyed, sweet as can be, this dancer's sad smile opens up old wounds. She reminds him so much of Penny. As much as Cain tries to avoid being that creepy strip club boss who dates his staff, he can't help but be attracted to Charlie. As he grows closer to her, waiting for her to turn her life around, he discovers that she's headed down a dangerous path, the same one that claimed the other important women in his life"--
