The Rana Look »

Already a successful romance novelist in the 1980s, Sandra Brown struck gold when she pushed past the category s boundaries to take chances with more intricate plotting, richer characters, and surprising plot twists. Her string of bestsellers feature strong, capable career women in extreme circumstances.

Rana Ramsey had a style that went beyond beauty, a gift that made her a modeling legend. But she hated idolhood, if that's the right word, prized for her looks but not for herself, and she knew it was time to get out. She also knew the perfect place: a rickety boardinghouse in Texas, where nobody knew her, and she could let her hair down. That is, until Trent Gamblin turned up. A celebrity in his own right, Trent was a star quarterback recuperating from a shoulder injury. Trent turned out to be a friend she could trust. But when their relationship began to deepen, Rana realized that she owed him the truth. Would he understand that the look that mattered was the one in her lover's eyes?
