Guarded Moments by JoAnn Ross It was a command performance Chantal Giraudeau de Montcroix was every inch a princess, and she expected the red-carpet treatment during her American tour to promote a traveling art exhibit. What she didn't expect - and wouldn't tolerate - was special agent Caine O'Bannion hounding her every move and cramping her formidable style. Caine had this crazy notion that someone was out to kill her, and his constant surveillance was becoming a royal pain for Chantal - until the first attempt on her life. It was then that she commanded he keep watch over her...day and night. Charade by Evelyn A. Crowe Protecting him was the easy part Kane Stone lived a life filled with danger and adventure - just the man for Shasta Masterson. Assigning herself as his bodyguard brought her the excitement she thrived on, but the real challenge turned out to be Kane himself. He was willing to have a good time with Shasta, but at thirty-seven he'd lived harder than most men and wasn't about to give up his freedom, even for the woman he loved. Somehow Shasta had to convince him that love and marriage could be one of life's greatest adventures. The Honey Trap by Pamela Bauer It was a nightmare situation Veronica Lang's estranged husband had defected, taking sensitive documents with him. Now Ronni was being followed. When someone threatened her little Steffie, she knew she had to run. Logan McNeil offered mother and daughter sanctuary, but it was no innocent gesture. Secretly he'd been asked to investigate the beautiful blonde. Why was she using a false identity? And why was the KGB so interested in her? Fleeing for their lives, Ronni and Logan found themselves ensnared in a passionate affair. But exactly who was laying a trap for whom...?

Pamela Muelhbauer was born and raised in Minnesota, one of six children. She and her husband Gerr, live in a small community just northwest of Minneapolis. They have two children, Amy and Aaron, and a bichon-poo that thinks he’s human. The marriage spend much of their recreational time in the lakes region of northern Minnesota. They enjoy roasting marshmallows over an open fire and listening to the call of the loons in the summer, and in the winter they trek through the woods on snowshoes and fish through a hole in the ice. Is it romantic? Ask a Minnesotan and you’ll likely get the answer, "You betcha!" says Pamela, who treasures those moments "up north." Since selling her first romance in 1986, Pamela Bauer has gained fans around the world for her heartwarming stories about love and family relationships. She plans to continue to write stories about people falling in love and living happily ever after. She hopes that when you read one of her books you’ll smile and maybe even laugh out loud, but more important, when you’ve finished the story you’ll feel good—about families, about life, and about love. She often uses the Midwest as a setting for her books, because she believes there’s something special about the region that makes it the perfect setting for stories about love and family. It’s also the place where she fell in love with her real-life hero, her husband.
