Heartbreaker
by Laurie Paige
"The fourth installment in the Lone Star Country Club saga"
Posted September 25, 2002
HEARTBREAKER is Laurie Paige's contribution to the
Silhouette series Lone Star Country Club, but does stand
alone. While the premise of the story is promising,
problems such as a heroine with an overblown case of denial
