Dark Splendor — Liz Grady

Dating consultant Jill Maxwell prides herself on socially savvy matchmaking. So how did she get stranded in the Callahan Tunnel with hostile, denim-clad cabbie Benjamin Lucas, who audaciously pegs her a highbrow snob?

Though pride goads Jill to put Luke in his place, she secretly thrills to his daring innuendoes. Her romantic soul warms to his reluctant smile...and melts at the grief burning in his eyes. Could his flinty exterior, his arrogant stance, possibly be shielding a heart of gold? Or is her burgeoning desire a foolish mistake? Has she been hopelessly deceived by Luke's dark, enigmatic splendor?
