"Great characters and witty dialog makes this story a hit."

Maggie Riley isn't going to stand for it. No sweet-talking art swindler is going to cheat her friend, Mary Rose, out of her money and her heart. Maggie's a journalist, not a detective, but she's sure if she can just catch the scoundrel in the act, her friend will realize how gullible she's being and walk away from the man and his scam. Art classes, taught by the silver-tongued crook, seem to be just the ticket to put Maggie in touch with her quarry.

But Ben Hunter, who's also signed up for classes, is proving to be a major distraction. A cop who no longer wears a badge, he's soliciting Maggie's help with a mission of his own where the con man is involved. Maggie isn't sure she wants Ben's attention or to be involved in his mission to see justice done. She doesn't have a chance with a man like Ben, and if she gets too close, all she'll do is end up with a broken heart.

Ms. Browning's great talent for characterization comes busting through once again. This is a fun read with witty dialog and the most delicious hero you've ever met. Another hit from an author who always makes the grade.

Summary

STUMBLING INTO SEXY TROUBLE!

In-the-know columnist Maggie Riley had a mission in mind: to write a scathing exposé about a scam artist at an overpriced retreat. Seducing a woman out of house and home was a crime! But fate, and a pair of ill-fitting shoes, landed her against the hard chest of lawman Ben Hunter, who had his own ulterior motives. In such a confined space, their previous agendas were long forgotten as they flashed hot, sultry gazes at each other. Maggie couldn't resist Ben's brooding eyes — not to mention how he filled a pair of jeans. Keeping their hands to themselves was pure torture! Would stubborn pride stand in the way of their blossoming love...and a lifetime of wicked fun?
