The Steele Trap — Betsy Osborne

When modest kindergarten teacher Kerry O'Kaye wins a night on the town with bestselling adventure novelist Steele Gray she's lured into a "Steele trap." One rakish, infectious smile from the renowned Manhattan playboy, one unforgettable evening of pink champagne and expert kisses, robs Kerry of her good sense ...and her heart.

Appalled to awaken in Steele's waterbed the next day--to hear Steele and a journalist discussing her!--Kerry flees home. Clearly, the creator of hard-boiled fictional characters is cynical about love and opposed to commitment. Clearly, though he pursues her intensely, he expects to lure her with passion but escape the clutches of marriage!
