Whirlwind Secrets (Harlequin Historical #979) »

Like many writers, Debra Cowan made up stories in her head as a child. Her BA in English was obtained with the intention of following family tradition and becoming a school teacher, but after she wrote her first novel, there was no looking back. In 1993, she sold her first manuscript and now writes both historical and contemporary romantic suspense for Harlequin/Silhouette. Debra loves to hear from readers. She can be reached through her website at: www.debracowan.net

Handsome rancher and hotel owner Russ Baldwin has learned from harsh experience to look twice at people. He'll never let a woman cheat him again. So when his business partner, Miss Lydia Kent, moves into town, Russ goes on alert….

Russ's dark, watchful eyes rattle Lydia. She must keep her noble, yet underground, activities—and her emotions—tightly under wraps.

But it doesn't take long before Russ realizes his curvy, sweet-talkin' co-owner has hidden depths…and he's determined to uncover them!
