"A Grand Passion!"

Lennon McDarby is helping her eccentric, loveable great-aunt, known as "Miss Q" to those who love her, open an erotic art exhibit dedicated to Miss Q's long-time lover Josh Eastman. Lennon herself is a romance writer, and has decided that she needs to find a stable, suitable husband rather than a grand romantic passion like Miss Q had. But Miss Q has asked Josh Eastman III, grandson of her lover, to come to the weekend opening to guard Lennon against threats that have been made against her due to her involvement with the controversial exhibit.

Lennon and Josh knew one another in earlier years, but the rest of the Eastman family doesn't approve of Miss Q or any of her family, so he has not really kept in close contact. Josh and Lennon are instantly attracted, but she is still fighting the grand passion idea. Josh will have to convince her to get involved, and then he will have to convince her that he just might be Mr. Right and a Grand Passion all rolled into one.

This Harlequin Blaze definitely lives up to its name. Josh is handsome, sexy and delicious. It will be utterly impossible for Lennon to resist him for long, and we don't want her to. ONE-NIGHT MAN is a quick-paced, sexy read with good character development, and an enjoyable story.
