Austin Spencer was like no other man Alanna Drake had ever met…tall, blond and completely unattainable! He was only in Minneapolis as a favor for his old friend, John Enright, who gave him his first acting role. Austin has promised to lend his Hollywood star power to a small theater production, so he and Alanna would only have the summer to explore the sights and sounds of the city, as well as their growing attraction to each other. Austin quickly decides he wants Alanna for his leading lady—on and off the stage. The dark-haired, green-eyed beauty is just what he’s looking for to launch the play he has secretly written. And he is powerless to control his feelings for her. But Alanna senses the danger of being too close to this man. And there is danger everywhere! A jealous lover, an ex-girlfriend and an arsonist all stand in the way of their destiny. Is Love’s Tender Kiss enough to overpower all the odds against them?
