His Only Obsession Ex-CIA agent Will Pierce came to Puerto Nuevo for a missing-persons case and didn’t expect a beautiful partner like Gwen. As mortal danger found them, Will realised just how far he’d go for a love that had become his most passionate obsession… Stranded with a Spy When Mallory Dawes went to France, her problems piled up. A lost passport. A car swept out to sea. And a mysterious, intriguing man who always seemed to turn up just when she was in trouble… Cutter Smith was told to keep the beautiful blonde in his sights. But his interest in her veered from the professional to the intensely personal… Awaken to Danger Suddenly Nikki Price was the prime suspect in a murder. Even worse, working the case was air force major Carson “Scorch” Hunt – the wingman warrior she’d been pining for…forever. They’d spent one night together months ago and Carson hadn’t said a word to her since. But now Carson was the only one who could keep her safe.

About the author

Beverly Marie Inman was born on 23 December 1946 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, USA. Daughter of Doris Marie and Walter D. Inman Jr. A born romantic, she fell in love with The Beauty and the Beast epic at an early age, when her grandfather bought her an illustrated copy of the famous fairy tale. Even before she learned to read and write, her vivid imagination created magical words and fabulous characters inside her mind. Movies fascinated her, and by the time she was seven she was rewriting the movies she saw on television and at the local theater to give them all happy endings. By the age of nine she'd penned her first novel. She wrote short stories, TV scripts, poetry, and novels throughout high school and into college.

After her marriage to Billy Ray Beaver, the "love of her life", and the births of her two children, Beverly continued to be a voracious reader and a devoted moviegoer, but she put her writing aspirations on hold until her children were teenagers. At every age of their lives, from infancy to adulthood, the children had been a true joy to her. She devoted herself to her husband and children and considered herself one of the many selfless "supermoms" who put their family's needs first. She believed she had had it all, just not all at the same time.

In her mid-30s, Beverly returned to her former passion — writing — as a hobby, but before 40, she decided that she wanted to make writing a full-time career. And when she rediscovered an old dream — of becoming a published writer — no one was more supportive of her aspirations than her family. Her children were her greatest cheerleaders and her husband was her biggest supporter. After writing over 40 books and receiving numerous awards and nominations, as well as having books on the USA Today list and consistently on the Waldenbooks bestseller list, her career was indeed a dream come true. Having a fantastic family and fabulous friends, as well as making a living doing the one thing she had loved doing since childhood, she considered herself truly blessed. Beverly died suddenly of heart failure on 21 April 2011.

Reviews

[Nadine]

Well, this was a refreshing Mills and Boons book. The main characters were all real people, not the usual rich guy and virgin, but people with skeletons in the closet and flaws. Really enjoyed the three stories in this book!
