The Man From Texas (43 Light Street, Book 21) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #625) [Mass Market Paperback]

Rebecca York (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2001

He'd woken up weeks ago in a seedy hotel room--with no memory and a suitcase filled with cash. “Luke” knew nothing of his past, the money or the killers who wanted it back. But with the reflexes of a cat burglar, the instincts of a fugitive and the deadly shot of a gunslinger, Luke couldn't trust the cops. Hannah Dawson was his only hope.

As a former cop, Hannah had devoted her life to putting away bad guys like the darkly sexy, mysterious stranger she was now attracted to--undeniably, inexplicably and helplessly. She was in danger herself, but was it from the killers on their trail...or from Luke?

"[Rebecca York's] books. . . deliver what they promise: excitement, mystery, romance. . ."
- Michael Dirda, Washington Post

An award-winning, best-selling novelist, Ruth Glick is the author of over 100 books. Writing as Rebecca York, she has authored or co-authored over 50 romantic suspense novels. The first of her Berkley Sensation paranormal romantic suspense novels, KILLING MOON, was published in June 2003; EDGE OF THE MOON followed in August 2003 and WITCHING MOON in October 2003. KILLING MOON and EDGE OF THE MOON were launch books for the Berkley Sensation imprint.

She writes the popular 43 Light Street series for Harlequin Intrigue. Over 30 Light Street Intrigues have been published. NOWHERE MAN was called "one of the most heart-wrenching, moving works of romantic suspense in several years," by reviewer Harriet Klausner.

Ruth's many awards include two Rita finalist books. She has two Career Achievement awards from Romantic Times: for Series Romantic Suspense and Series Romantic Mystery. NOWHERE MAN was the Romantic Times Best Intrigue of 1998, and the book has been selected as one of their Reviewers' "all-time favorite 400 romances." In addition, she received the 1998 Affaire de Coeur's Critics Choice Award for Best Contemporary Novel, also for NOWHERE MAN. Ruth's book, KILLING MOON won the 2003 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award for best Paranormal. AMANDA'S CHILD won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for Long Contemporary and was nominated for Best Intrigue of 2000 by Romantic Times. "Tyler" in BAYOU BLOOD BROTHERS won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for best Novella. In 2007 THE SECRET NIGHT received the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for best Harlequin Intrigue. Ruth's cookbook, 100% PLEASURE, was picked by USA Today as one of the 12 best cookbooks of 1994; her FABULOUS LO-CARB CUISINE was a finalist for the MidAtlantic Publishers Association's Excellence in Independent Publishing Award.

Several of Ruth's Moon books (WITCHING MOON, SHADOW OF THE MOON, and NEW MOON) have been on the USA Today best-seller list.

Ruth and her husband travel frequently to research settings for novels and taste new dishes for cookbooks. Her many unique experiences are apt to end up in her books--like the time she encountered a coral snake in the Guatemalan jungle or took a flight in a hot air balloon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Romantic Suspense, September 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Man From Texas (43 Light Street, Book 21) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #625) (Mass Market Paperback)

From the crowded streets of Baltimore to the lonely and rugged terrain of Texas, The Man from Texas takes the reader on a thrill-packed jaunt from one peril to another. Who is the man who calls himself Luke Pritchard? And why are there so many people--on the right and wrong side of the law--after him? Not even he knows, but he has hired a lovely but battle-scarred ex-cop, now a PI, to help him find out. This is an exciting, non-stop read.

This review is from: The Man From Texas (43 Light Street, Book 21) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #625) (Mass Market Paperback)

Rebecca York keeps getting better and better. A lot of character development and chilling suspense is packed into each of her stories. I thought NOWHERE MAN her best, until now. This book is a great amnesia-victim tale with a good old fashion Gothic flavor to it. Is Luke a criminal or a hero? If you want a dose of romance interwoven with a mystery, this is the book for you. You won't want to put it down!

By A Customer

This review is from: The Man From Texas (43 Light Street, Book 21) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #625) (Mass Market Paperback)

From the first paragraph to the last, the newest 43 Light Street book from Ruth Glick writing as Rebecca York grabbed my attention and didn't let go. If you are looking for a taut, edge-of-your-seat romantic read, do yourself a favor and order The Man From Texas. You won't be sorry!
