The Enchanting Miss Annabella — Joan Elliott Pickart

Everyone in Harmony, Oklahoma, called her Miss Annabella, the librarian who dressed in drab browns and resembled a sparrow, but when gorgeous blue-eyed ladykiller pilot Terry Russell heard her sultry, sexy voice, he sensed the vibrant woman underneath the prim exterior. Back for the summer after years of working in New York, he knew what it was to be lonely, and something in him wanted to discover the woman whose passion sizzled just beneath the surface. But getting Annabella to try her wings meant courting her, awakening her to the wonderful pleasures a man and woman could share... and Terry was stunned to feel his heart respond when he kissed her trembling lips. Annabella thrilled to his touch, and reveled in the bright colors and wild emotions he brought to her quiet life, determined to gather what memories she could to cherish once Terry had gone. But when he confessed his love, how could she believe him? Did he love the woman she truly was, or simply his creation?
