Livin' the Dream: A Romance

by Anna Hales Owen

Private eye Ronan Blackwell believes he's up for the challenge when he agrees to investigate heiress Meredith Wingfield. Honestly, how much trouble could a sweet young debutante get into? But the daughter of the gazillionaire brains behind the high-tech FantasyWorld theme park chain has plenty of surprises. What's clear is that she has secrets -- and she's prepared to defend them. It's a game and a war, and both give it their all. Yet despite her need to protect herself, Meredith can't resist the temptation to play with fire where the sexy detective is concerned. Meanwhile, Ronan discovers a very inconvenient attraction to his creative and clearly not-to-be-trusted opponent. Ironically, dealing with their own ghosts, delusions, and superpowers proves to be the biggest challenge of all. But by ruthlessly targeting each other’s weaknesses, they strip away their delusions and learn to give love a chance.

Gimme Back My Clothes: A Romance

by Anna Hales Owen

A ferry tale come true! Socialite playboy Jaro Cruse loses his clothes—and his name and identity—as part of witness protection, all so that he won’t lose his life. But did they have to send him disguised as a nerd to a wacko island community off the coast of Maine? What’s a celebrity like him to do? Get out, of course. But then why then did he so oddly free, now that he’d escaped fame and fortune? Roslyn McGuiver, the young mayor of the island, knows that nerds are safe. After all, they’re like a third sex! Yet why does she have to fight off this weird attraction to her geeky, uncooperative summer student employee? Meanwhile, she has a community in desperate need of a new direction that needs her attention. And as annoying as he is, Jaro has an even more annoying habit of becoming very useful—and very smooth—when he wants to. They’re not exactly fighting but not exactly getting along. He’s not being honest, and she’s not being open-minded. But thanks to the intervention of the island’s cult, biker gang, and pirates, the Women’s Muffin League, the town council, and of course, Hurricane Hubert, both learn to let go of the past.
