2) Characters:
MATT CALDWELL: - has a deep voice which is gravely and can cut like a knife, has very dark unyielding eyes and dark hair. People say he's a nice, easygoing man who loved to help out any underdogs. He's offered marriage to local girls when he thought it might help them out. He's one of the most hunted bachelors in South Texas. He never seems to get to serious about any one woman but he likes women who are not intimidated by his bad moods.
His mother gave him away when he was six years old because her new boyfriend didn't like kids. Matt went to live with his uncle and cousin Ed, which is why they are so close. Matt never knew who his father was, as there were too many men in his mother's life to say which one got her pregnant. Matt's mother is now dead and he never talks about her ever.
He has a love for cigars but is trying to give them up. So has asked his secretaries to help out, they now each have a water pistol to stop his habit. Matt loves Latin dancing he can Mambo, Rumba and Tango like an expert. He did date a dancing instructor for several months but was a natural when it came to dancing. At the moment Matt is in an on/off relationship with Carolyn Engles his latest trophy girlfriend.

LESLIE MURRY: - aged 23. She wasn't pretty. She had a plain rather ordinary face with blonde hair that had a natural wave and grey eyes. Her one good feature besides her slender figure was a pretty bow mouth. She had a quite, almost reclusive demeanour. She had been flamboyant and outgoing, a live wire of a girl whose friends had laughed at her exploits (that was before her life changed) (p7/8). Leslie has a stammer when she gets nerves. Leslie has a limp caused by a shooting incident when she was 17yrs old. The bones had not been set correctly so the injury causes Leslie a lot of pain every now and again.
Her mother is in prison for murdering her boyfriend. She found her boyfriends and his friends about to rape Leslie and went mad and shot him to death but also shot Leslie in the leg at the same time. Leslie's father died when she was young. He misjudged the positioning of some electrical wires and flew his plane into them, he was electrocuted.
Leslie feels she has to keep running and hiding from the press so she can hide what happened to her when she was younger. When she meets Matt she feels he is like a steamroller trying to find out all her secrets. Leslie feels so unsure about Matt he is friendly to everyone but her, when they meet he is always bristle and full of venom.
Leslie has taken lessons in Tae Kwon Do so she can protect herself. Leslie loves to dance all Latin dances, her mum taught her to dance from a young age. Leslie is also allergic to tobacco smoke.

3) Storyline: Leslie has come to Jacobsville to hide away from the reporters who keep following her looking for a story about her past. From day one Leslie and Matt rub each other the wrong way. Matt does not like that Leslie is keeping secrets and wants to find out what they are. Leslie tries her best to stay out of Matt's way a try not anger him in any way. After a local dance Leslie injures her leg which later need surgery on to fix a shattered bone which is from a shooting injury when she was 17yrs old. Matt once again becomes angry when no one will tell him how the injury came about. At the same time a reporter comes looking for Leslie so he can do a feature story about the shooting and the love triangle between her, her mother and the died boyfriend. Matt has the reporter run out of town, and then goes to find out what story Leslie is hiding. Once he knows the truth Matt begins to treat Leslie in a new away and slowly their relationship takes a new road. A lov!
e begins to grow and a whole new future for Leslie.

He was rich, powerful and every woman's fantasy. Although many had tried to catch this sought-after bachelor, none had succeeded. However, mysterious Leslie Murry, the cynical tycoon's spirited new employer, roused his temper and also brought out his every protective instinct. Sampling her soul-searing kisses, Matt was tempted to possess the enticing innocent.

5) Children: Matt and Lesley have1 son and 1 daughter - They have a son and then 3 years later they had a daughter both are not named. This information is found on the last page of their book. It does not give you a time scale to go by just that says Leslie's mother has had a new trial and her sentence was shortened.

j. she is just plain and boring.

3) Storyline:
When Callie Kirby is kidnapped Micah Steele is the only person who can rescue her and keep her alive at the same time. Callie did not know her step-brother was a mercenary until he saves her from the evil hand of her kidnappers. Its not safe for her to return home, so Micah takes her home with him so he can keep her safe. While hiding out at his home, Callie and Micah begin to notice each other in a new light. When the kidnappers strike again Micah knows he must put a stop to them before they kill Callie.

Once the danger has passed Callie returns home leaving Micah behind. Micah soon follows her back to Jacobsville as he has a secret only he can share with her.

4) Back-cover blurb:

SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
The last mercenary was about to retire his gun. But that was before the virginal beauty from Micah Steele's past was kidnapped by his sworn enemy. Travelling far and wide to rescue Callie Kirby from a dangerous desperado was far less daunting for Micah than trying to combat his potent desire for the feisty young women. Though her beguiling innocence and sassy sprit penetrated Micah's granite heart, bitter discord had shattered their trust and torn them apart. Still, the heavenly taste of Callie's sweetly tempting lips - and the heady rush of her satiny-soft body yielding to him so trustingly - was slowly driving Micah insane. Was he finally ready to claim a bride?
