Gideon Summerfield Bank robber. Prisoner. Let out of jail only on the condition that he capture his cousin.

Well, it might take a thief to catch a thief, but Gideon didn't plan on being caught himself - at least not by a bright-eyed female full of vinegar... and honey. Sweet, warm honey. Honey Logan Banker's daughter. Pampered debutante.

When it comes to writing romance, historical or contemporary, Mary McBride is a natural. What else would anyone expect from someone whose parents met on a blind date on Valentine's Day, and who met her own husband-whose middle name happens to be Valentine!-on February 14th, as well? She lives in Saint Louis, Missouri, with her husband and two sons. Mary loves to hear from readers. You can write to her c/o P.O.Box 411202, Saint Louis, MO 63141, or contact her on-line at McBride101@aol.com.
