On Cloud Nine — Jean Kent

Selling the rehabilitation center she's just inherited could buy Miranda Franklin financial independence -- if its director, Byron Hooligan, weren't as impossible as his name!

Clearly, Byron plans to save Step Up House, but his methods are pure madness! With the fashion sense of a clown, the decorating instincts of a zoo keeper, and the bullying authority of a feudal lord, he keeps his patients in line... and Mira off-kilter. His crazy jargon, crooked smile, and casual intimacy send her hinging on chocolate... and floating on cloud nine. Soon she's too high on desire to question his masterful manipulation ... or to wonder how hard she might fall back to earth.
