"Elizabeth, Oliver, and danger. Certainly a combination you ought not miss!" -Maldivian Book ReviewsA dangerous man . . .The man who'd broken into Elizabeth Hardy's Colorado house was no lost ski bum.

Sam Oliver was tall, dark, and deadly-a liar and a trickster, and she'd finally found a man she couldn't ignore.Off limits . . .She didn't look like a fraud and a liar, and after years in Army Intelligence Col. Sam Oliver should know. Instead Elizabeth Hardy was a pale, vulnerable-looking waif, though he didn't buy her innocent act. He'd always made it a rule to keep his hands off his targets.
