I really like 90 percent of all N. Roberts writings. These two novels were above average. Both stories had leading men who were brooding and the female leads draw them out. In both stories the main characters save each other from past uncertainty re: love/marriage relationships.

explode their tidy worlds.
Second Nature -- Wangling an exclusive with notoriously reclusive Hunter Brown was a real coup for Celebrity magazine reporter Lee Radcliffe. But alone on a camping trip with the seductively mysterious author, she discovered it was Hunter she wanted . . . exclusively.

One Summer -- A summer spent traveling across America with cynical, brooding photojournalist Shade Colby was not Celebrity photographer Bryan Mitchell's idea of a dream assignment. They disagreed about everything -- everything, that is, except the fierce attraction they could not deny.
