As the Avon Journal’s no-nonsense publisher, Jolie Chesney
always stuck to the facts. And the fact was that she found
the celebrated war hero who’d come to her office angrily
demanding a retraction unsettlingly charismatic. His wild
sexual exploits had found their way into her paper’s gossip
column, and Jo had no intention of compromising her
standards, journalistic or otherwise. But when her star
reporter suspiciously vanishes, Jo seeks help from this
dangerously sensual man, whose connection to the Special
Branch may save her friend’s life, even if it means putting
her own life—and heart—on the line.
Waldo Bowman sensed danger in his immediate attraction to
Jolie the instant they met. Beautiful and independent, she
was unlike any woman he knew—and he was determined not to
lose her, whatever the risk. But when Jo uses her paper to
set a trap for a cold-blooded killer, these reluctant
lovers
embark on a mystery that will change their lives—or end
them.
