As the Avon Journalβs no-nonsense publisher, Jolie Chesney always stuck to the facts. And the fact was that she found the celebrated war hero whoβd come to her office angrily demanding a retraction unsettlingly charismatic. His wild sexual exploits had found their way into her paperβs 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 friendβs life, even if it means putting her own lifeβand heartβon 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 knewβand 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 livesβor end them.
