Two wonderful romances in one volume.
'Passion and Illusion': Monica Grant is an independent and strong woman who wants an equally strong man, someone like the heroes in the romantic novels she loves. Michael Shaw is looking for an old-fashioned, feminine woman. For some reason he thinks Monica could be that woman. But Monica fears that true love occurs only in fiction. Even if she comes to love Michael, can she trust that it will last?
'The Carpenter's Lady': With a painful divorce behind her, Debra Barry retreats to the country. As a writer she has control over the grief and joy of her characters, but her personal happiness is another story. Graham Reid has his own reasons for bitterness, and only reluctantly agrees to redesign Debra's new home. What neither of them bargains for is falling in love . . .
