The Baron — Sally Goldenbaum

Disguised as a glittering contessa for a glamorous mystery weekend, Halley Finnegan knew anything was possible -- even being swept into the arms of a dashing baron! She'd never been intriguing before, never enchanted a worldly man who stunned her senses with hungry kisses beneath a full moon. Once the "let's pretend mystery" was solved, though, they shed their costumes, revealing Halley for the shy librarian with freckles she was -- but wealthy, elegant Nick Harrington was still the baron...and not in her league. When Nick turned up on her doorstep in pursuit of his fantasy lady, Halley was sure he'd discover his mistake and run for the hills, but instead he was all charm and teasing smiles, and caresses that made her yearn to lie in his arms. She had so much love to give -- to her family and friends, and to the man who'd open his heart and draw her inside. But Nick had never learned how to return the gift she offered...and unless he could, he'd lose her....
