Game: Character Hunt

[Gen]

I don't want to spoil anything in the book and it's been a long time since I read it so I'm short of clues.

The book was: Bit the Jackpot by Erin McCarthy.

[Gen]

So, who wants to be next?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - never heard of it!! :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

OK - I'll slip one in while I'm on this thread...

I'm tall, dark and dangerous but regarded as the greatest healer of my people.

[Vi]

Oooh I remember the Erin McCarthy book. I remember reading when I was in one of my contemporary-book binges. I remember it being fuuun.

[Charlotte]

Could we have another hint, Jane? I'm still stumped.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Sure :) I'm married to the Prince's daughter.

[Nairabell]

Is it Gregori in Dark Magic?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Yes!!!

Your turn Nairabell...

[Nairabell]

Yay :)

I work for a church but I'm also a drug addict which has gotten me into trouble.

189

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Whoa! Need to think on this one!! :)

[Charlotte]

Sounds like Chess Putnam from Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane, but the number doesn't match.

[Nairabell]

You're right Charlotte. The number should match - it's the last 3 of the most common edition right?

[Charlotte]

Oh, it wasn't the most recent. Lol. I only looked at the one on your bookshelf.

[Charlotte]

My turn again:

I was engaged to a man who jilted me after he found out that my stepfather's creditors claimed the family estate after his death, leaving me homeless and financially desperate.
But I have a plan.
I'm going to hire myself out as a ______________ until I have enough money to go into trade. But I have trouble keeping a decent job; that is until a gentleman promises to pay me triple my usual wages if I pose as his fiancee for a few weeks while he does some investigating.
But his investigations soon become deadly, his last fiancee returns, and, to top it all off, I'm falling in love with him.

Who am I?

(Hint: If you knew her job, you'd know who she is.)

Hmm....it sounds like an Amanda Quick book. Not sure which one.

[Charlotte]

Yes, Amanda Quick wrote the book.

Hint 2: This heroine's job is the same as at least one of Quick's other heroines. But this one will probably stand out from the other(s) for one good reason. When you know the reason, you'll understand why I hid the job.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

The Paid Companion - but only because Yz cracked it...

I think this should be Yz's go now :P

If you say so, Jane. : )

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Here is my clue:

I'm part-angel-part girl who is torn between my 'mission' and the boy-next-door I'm falling for.

Who am I?

Hint: It's a Young Adult book.
2nd Hint: Tucker vs Christian

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Sorry - I've been away from this thread :) I don't know Yz, but I like the sound of the book! Another clue?

[RedEye_Witch]

Hey Yz, is it Madeline Black from Black Wings?

Sorry, no.

[Clarifina]

Is it Bethany from Halo?

No.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Wow - we need some the PNR/YAers on this one! (Mind you, even when I've read the book, I still miss-guess! LOL!)

[Tricia]

Is it Clara Gardner from ?

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Yes, it is.

Your turn. :)

[Tricia]

Okay, here's my clue:

I'm a viscount and my father died from a bee sting.

Anthony Bridgerton from The Viscount Who Loved Me

[Vi]

I'm a cute, hot guy who is often accused rather unfairly, I must say, of being very over-protective by my brother and sister. Of course, I'm protective - I'm the eldest! It's my duty! Women dig me but I've got my eye on this stunning woman from our neighboring... community. Oh, and I'm a shape-shifter. Who am I?

Could we have another hint?
