Bride on the Run
by Joanne Rock, Catherine Mann

Valerie Dimitri is on the run from her former fiancé who'd only wanted to marry her for her family's questionable criminal ties. She also has the perfect cover with an assumed name and a thriving call-in advice show, "Sex Talk with Serena", until one messy call blows up in her face. When she counselled "Anna J" to break up her with her boyfriend, she had no idea that she was telling a local celebrity to dump the hometown hero ballplayer, Boone Sullivan.

Boone has discovered Valerie's real identity and he's determined to expose her secrets... and maybe more. What he didn't expect was to be blindsided by a crazy attraction to the buttoned-up lady with the sultry voice and a hidden past. He had carefully plotted his revenge, but soon all he can think about is how much he'd like to take Valerie as very own his stand-in bride...
