Three Signs That Something Is Very DIFFERENT With Your New Man:

1. He sleeps all day . . . which would be annoying except he's so attentive at night.

2. He's attacked by sword-wielding assailants, yet insists he can handle it on his own.

3. He never seems to age.

Heather Westfield has always lived a quiet life, but that all changes when she helps a very handsome, very mysterious stranger. There's something not quite right about Jean-Luc, but still, she's never been with a man so charming, so attractive . . . so wonderful. Now if only a murderous villain wasn't after them, they might get their happily-ever-after.

Excerpt

She was moving into view, and what a view.

    She had curves. And breastes. A derriere a man could grab onto.
    And mounds of auburn hair that fluffed around her shoulders.
    She was like the old movie stars he had loved to design clothes for. Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner. Lusty, full-figured women. And here was a beautiful one, right in front of him. Her black dress clung to a luscious hourglass figure.
    He caught a glimpse of a pert nose, slightly tiled up at the tip. The woman in question pushed her hair behind her ear. She had high, wide cheekbones and a sweet curve to her jaw. What color were her eyes? he wondered.
    She was a natural beauty. An angel.
    She retrieved some items from her purse - a small writing pad and a pen. No, a pencil. She was writing something. No, sketching. His mouth dropped open. She was drawing his new gown. Stealing his design.
