About the book

Play the hero? Not likely! Josh January--A burned-out, beat-up rogue of a private eye. His last case had nearly killed him .... Maggie Gladstone--The vibrant, sexy innkeeper who'd read too many detective novels . . . and wanted badly to believe in heroes. Shrewdly. Josh agreed to investigate the strange goings-on at Maggie's charming bed and breakfast. The case would be a cinch--no heroics necessary. Josh could concentrate on important things like rest, recovery... and seducing tawny-haired Maggie. He was dead wrong--about the case and about sweet Maggie. If Josh didn't start playing the hero, he'd pay a very high price.

Subjects: Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Private investigators, innkeeper, Harlequin Temptation, Rebels and Rogues series
