Real Romance — Rosa Knapp

BETWEEN THE COVERS

A Scottish laird in a kilt... an Indian brave in buckskins... a Southern rogue in tight britches... Marie McCloud has loved them all -- on paper, that is. The pretty bookstore manager finds plenty of time to indulge her passion for reading, and her favorite heroes are brave, bold, brawny -- and always, always kind to their horses. But will she ever find a real-life man to match the gallant hunks of her imagination?

David Lake certainly fits the profile. Handsome... yes. Muscular... oh,yes. Adventurous. Intelligent. Amorous. With blue eyes brighter than the sky and a heart as big as all outdoors. It all adds up... until Marie's doubts get the better of her. He's just like every other love-'em-and-leave-'em guy she's ever known... or is he? Something about the look in his eyes tells her she's about to be swept off her feet -- for the romance of a lifetime....
