Pinkerton Agent Jack Hazard needed a woman to pose as his wife. Since no female agents were available, file clerk Anna Matlin was chosen for the job. Anna's colorless existance ended the day she became the "wife" of her hero, Jack Hazard. Though she learned that beneath the Detective's dashing exterior was a haunted, lonely man, Anna still longed for the brief assignment to become the role of a lifetime.
This book was just OK for me. I was bored with the first 100 pages and almost put it down. But, it did get more interesting when you learned Jack's plan of revenge. Jack's alcoholism is also dealt with. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

This book is my all time favorite romance novel! Anna Maitland is one of those heroines you wait for - a nice, intelligent woman who gets a chance at a new life, stands up to her fears, takes control and gets her man. This is the only romance novel on my shelf that I can't bring myself to send away.
good book
