Lover and Deceiver

by Cathie Linz

As director of her local community theater group, Erin Rossi was looking for a very special man. When corporate tax attorney Jonathan Garrett appeared to audition, she knew she'd found her perfect lead. Little did she know that beneath the three-piece suits he wore--even to rehearsals--there was a knock-'em-dead playboy. Determined to broaden his horizons, Erin embarked on a campaign to show him how to relax and loosen up--and discovered fireworks instead! But why was Jonathan so intent on hiding his spontaneous sensual side? A graphic artist by day, Erin knew what it meant to lead a double life. But who was the real Jonathan Garrett--and could she find out without losing her head and her heart?
