Impassioned Pretender — Betsy Osborne

Attorney Kira Lacey has heard plenty--all of it bad--about the ruthless venture capitalist whose daring new building projects arc casting elderly Pennsylvanians from their homes. So she's delighted to help unemployed steelworker Michael Vranesevich spare his aunt a similar fate--especially when he makes mincemeat of an unsavory character wilds attacking Kira!

Michael is Kira's kind of man--boldly forthright, relentlessly honest, uncompromisingly, virile-- and she finds herself melt lug fast. But no sooner does she tumble headlong into his arms than she discovers he isn't all that he seems! And though Michael, thoroughly unrepentant, swears to win her back, she's equally determined to frustrate his impassioned pursuit.
