NEW IN STORES!
No man is more determined to remain a bachelor than ruggedly handsome
Ross Benedict - and there isn't a woman in the town of Twin Hearts
who can change his mind. Until he arrives home one night to find a
fiery-haired stranger warming his bed. As if that isn't outrageous
enough, the hot-tempered intruder demands that HE leave.
Lily Sawyer has every right to be alarmed. She was never told that
the secluded cabin she was renting came furnished - with a man! Still,
she refuses to budge. So does Ross. Until they discover that the "mix
up" was deliberate. Now, the only thing they have in common is
the desire to prove that the matchmaker's plan can't possibly succeed.
OR CAN IT?
"It's a delight
to watch these two stubborn people
fall in love."

Widowed at age twenty-one when her husband was killed while captaining
a whaler, Eleanor Rayburn is left homeless and penniless. She is dismayed
to learn that before his death her husband had sold his shares in
the ship. In her search for the company that now controls the whaler,
she encounters the handsome and arrogant owner, a man with a flagrant
dragon tattooed on his torso, who greets her with cold disdain.
And a man must win . . .
Dante Templeton, a marine naturalist, charms women easily but cares
for none. He and his older brother were abandoned as infants and raised
in an orphanage before they joined Captain Rayburn's crew. Onboard
the St. Louis, Dante suffered regular whippings and his brother
was lost at sea-an accident for which Dante blamed the ship's cruel
captain. Now twenty years later, when his enemy's widow comes looking
for the return of her husband's ship, he impedes her at every turn,
determined that her ship will never hunt whales again.
But circumstances throw Eleanor and Dante together. The handsome,
tattooed naturalist and the seemingly plain, intelligent widow cannot
deny their fiery attraction. Although Dante knows a secret about Eleanor's
late husband that would certainly hurt her, he now realizes that to
destroy this vibrant, passionate woman would mean destroying himself.
