"What's your fantasy? A "good girl" and "bad boy" find out in this sexy tale!"

Café owner Liz Adams has an overblown sense of responsibility. After her parents' death, she was raised by her aunt and uncle. Ever since, she's striven to be a "good girl" and never make them regret taking her in. Liz even watches out for her irresponsible cousin, who has just pulled a disappearing act. Since Valerie works for a phone sex company and consorts face-to-face with clients, Liz is justifiably worried that something may have happened to Valerie. But Liz's fantasy man may just be the answer to her problem.

Former cop turned private investigator Steve Wilde is shocked when the woman starring in his latest fantasies shows up in his office asking for his help. It turns out that she wants him to help find her missing cousin. Liz will get a job at the phone sex company, with Steve posing as a devoted client. Steve decides to make their relationship a physical one in real life as well. Knowing Liz desires him as much as he does her, he proposes an affair to last as long as the investigation.

Both Steve and Liz have been hurt by love before. Neither one is looking for a long-term relationship. But the longer their charade goes on, both Liz and Steve begin to develop feelings for the other. Will they be able to walk away when the case is over? Or can two wounded hearts find comfort in another chance at love? And what will happen when Valerie is located?

Summary

SHE CAN'T STOP THINKING OF HIM

Serious bad boy. That's what Liz Adams thinks when she catches sight of dark, gorgeous Steve Wilde sitting at a table in her coffee house, giving her a look of bold, satisfying appraisal that has nothing to do with her espresso skills. Still, the man is the best P.I. in town, and the only person who might be able to help Liz track down her irresponsible, free-spirited cousin . . . if she can manage to spend more than two minutes in his company without surrendering to the wild fantasies dancing in her head.

HE CAN'T STOP WANTING HER

Oh, baby. That's exactly how Steve Wilde feels every time he comes into Liz's cafe and catches sight of her sexy figure behind the counter. But a man can only pretend to be interested in the pastries for so long. Now that Liz has opened the door to him, Steve intends to storm right through it, along with her defenses, and show the aloof beauty what she's been missing . . . and what he intends to do about it, slowly, deliberately, deliciously . . .

THERE'S NO STOPPING EITHER OF THEM

Now, in a cat-and-mouse game where the thrill of the forbidden is never quite enough, a business arrangement is about to yield to pleasure . . . and the temptations that can only be found when hearts run wild . . .
