Lovely, blonde, and sensual herself, Clara Winston writes sizzling romance novels, always including a hero who's the kind of man she hopes to meet - powerful, yet sensitive; accomplished, yet modest; overwhelmingly sexy, yet ready to give his heart to the right woman. Going to bed every night with only her cat, Puff, for company, Clara wonders if she will ever find a real-life male who will measure up to her dreams and take her breath away with his kiss. Then in one dangerous, desperate evening she finds herself face-to-face with a man as handsome and exciting as her fictional characters. He's CIA agent Jack McClain, a man running for his life and accidentally taking Clara - and Puff - with him. His emerald eyes seem to shoot green sparks, and he acts as if he knows it all. In his arms Clara feels light-headed...and when his lips touch hers, she knows this man's passion is what she has longed for. Now, as a web of intrigue closes around them both, Clara is ready to break every rule in the book to win his heart.
