Staying in Texas was never in the cards, although Wolfe's incredible kisses may just make her reconsider….Wolfe knows trouble when he sees it. The moment he rescues Wendy, he knows he should walk away. But she's a sexy spitfire, and since her car and money are gone, he lets her stay with him—temporarily. Her sweet body and fast talk can only mean trouble. He's always been a loner—except having Wendy in his bed every night isn't such a bad perk!

Psychologist Sara Davenport wrote the book on bad boys. Literally. When her publicist arranges for her to speak on Nick Chandler's radio show, Sara quickly refuses. But going head-to-head with the famous bad boy would be great for sales. Besides, she can handle Nick, right? If she could only stop wishing he'd handle her! Sparring with Dr. Davenport has been great, but Nick wants more. Yeah, he came on a bit strong when they first met, but once Sara gets to know him… Of course, seducing the woman who's sworn off bad boys would only prove to his listeners—and the uptight doctor— just how good he can be….

What was it exactly? Wonder, rapture delight, surprised recognition, laughter – but also darker feelings that made my heart beat fast and my stomach turn over, and sometimes a frantic urge to close the book before whatever it was sucked me in and destroyed me. But always, I read on.   In Storytime, author and literary critic Jane Sullivan takes us from Wonderland to Narnia, Moomintroll to Mr Toad and from Winnie the Pooh to the Magic Pudding, to find out why her favourite childhood books were so vitally important, and how they shaped the woman she is today.   This intimate, intense and emotional adventure down memory lane is much, much more than nostalgia. It is a surprising and sometimes disturbing voyage of self-discovery. As Jane relives old joys and faces old fears, she discovers that the books were not what she thought they were, and she was not the child she thought she was.
