Book Description

Series: Intimate Moments, 1089 | Publication Date: July 1, 2001

When agent Ellie Lanagan’ s “ husband” was suddenly taken ill, she knew she needed a replacement, pronto. The least likely candidate for the job: seeming drifter McCall— no last name, just McCall— who had saved her neck three times already. So should she offer her… hero the chance to save her from the enemy? Or was he the enemy?

Obviously McCall had a soft spot for the pretty tourist he called Cinnamon, but she was driving him crazy in more ways than one. Who was she, really? An innocent, married woman with incredibly poor judgment? Or part of the biggest scam this side of the Caribbean? And by getting involved with her, would he wind up in jail? Or in her arms?

More About the Author

I grew up on a ranch in the California mountains, listening to the tales my grandfather told of his pioneer ancestors. The stories were filled with drama and romance and adventure, and I guess some of that must have rubbed off on me. Add to that a love of books that I seem to have been born with, and it was only natural that I become a writer one day. If you'd like to read more about me, I invite you to visit my website, and then e-mail me to tell me what you think. I look forward to meeting you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Creighton at her best!, July 8, 2001

This review is from: The Seduction of Goody Two-Shoes (Into the Heartland) (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1089) (Intimate Moments, 1089) (Paperback)

Kathleen Creighton's rich characterizations, emotional depth, vividly described settings, and ability to create a sizzling magic between her heroes and heroines without slapping you in the face with what passes for sexual tension in far too many books has made me a devoted fan for many years. Her latest IM, THE SEDUCTION OF GOODY TWO-SHOES, is Creighton at her best. Her hero is an American expatriate living in Mexico, a social recluse/artist/beach bum, who finds himself sucked into helping out a biologist turned government agent when her partner/pretend husband takes ill. A more unlikely pair you'll never see. . .but watching the jaded McCall's defenses crumble under the pressure of Ellie's fervent determination to set at least part of the world to rights is an absolute delight. Ellie is idealistic but not naive; McCall is crusty without being obnoxious. If you like a touch of suspense and danger in your stories, but are looking for something a bit different -- and for a romance that, even within the parameters of a short time frame, still doesn't seem rushed or based solely on physical attraction -- this just might be the ticket.

2.0 out of 5 stars I was looking for sizzle & got fizzle, July 15, 2001

Good story line but I normally buy an Intimate Moments title for the sensuality -- in that area this one was really a dud.
