Reissue. Both titles originally published in 1992

Bride on the loose-Jason Manning is content with his life as a carefree bachelor, until a precocious girl decides to play matchmaker and introduces him to her mother. To Jason's relief, Charlotte Weston is as uninterested in a relationship as he is. Charlotte likes Jason, but there's no way she's putting her broken heart on the line again. As their feelings start to deepen, can Jason convince the stubborn Charlotte that they're better together?

My hero-Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example, and she finds one in Parker Davidson. He's everything a hero should be: attractive, determined, capable of tenderness and a man of substance. Parker is perfect as Bailey's inspiration--but he wants to be the hero in her life, not just in her book!
