A high- flying, carefree, celebrity bachelor of Stratford- upon- Avon is not about to let a gossip column in the Avon Journal get the best of him. But when a trip to the Journal’s offices pairs him with Jo Chesney, the ravishing, flame- haired proprietor of the Journal he finds much more than he bargained for. Jo’s verbal sparring and prudish ways are a poor match for his more passion- ate interests, but when she informs him that Chloe, the gossip columnist, has disappeared, he can’t help but involve himself in the search. As this unlikely pair unravel the web of clues left by Chloe’s disappearance, every step of their search brings them closer to harm and closer to each other. But if they want to rescue Chloe and ensure their own survival, they’ll have to use Chloe’s dark secrets to catch an even darker villain.
