True Colors — Dixie Dubois

THE WOMAN INSIDE

From his thick black hair to his silvery eyes, Julian Archer was every woman's dream-come-true. His compelling presence stirred Nikki's senses like a warm summer breeze. But Nikki Colomb had to fight his irresistible charms and deal with the mat-ter at hand. This man was about to force her family's company into bankruptcy! Nikki had burst into his field office to find out what the top executive from Archer Oil was doing in this Louisiana backwater, and why he had cancelled Colomb's contract.

The answers took her by surprise. Someone had been skimming off more than a million dollars of Archer's money, and Julian suspected that Colomb Contracting was in on the scam! Nikki had to prove that her company had nothing to do with the embezzlement. Only then could she save the contract--and the employees whose jobs depended on her.

Julian Archer wanted to believe in Nikki's innocence. From the moment he met her, he sensed that there was a complicated woman hidden beneath her grimy coveralls and hard hat. Her velvety, violet eyes and her moist, kissable mouth testified to a wealth of passions. But Julian longed to know the real Nikki, the secret woman inside, a woman who had buried a past too painful to face. Would she ever let him get close enough to test her true colors?
