Beloved Stranger / Summer Storm

Bestselling author Joan Wolf has received both critical and popular acclaim for her compelling romances, many of which have become collector's items. Now, this exclusive dual collection brings back two of her long out-of-print contemporary love stories. Beloved Stranger: By all rights they should never have met -- shy and lovely Susan Morgan, and Ricardo Montoya, baseball's hottest superstar. But a winter storm brought them together and in the glow of firelight, they discovered a magical passion. It should have ended there -- their worlds were so far apart they could never expect to share more than a beautiful memory. But fate took a hand, and suddenly Susan found that her love had a chance... if only she were strong enough to grasp it... Summer Storm: Chris was a struggling actor and Mary a struggling scholar, but their marriage was a perfect, passionate union -- until the glitter of Hollywood and a dazzling starlet stole Chris away. At the time when she needed him most, he betrayed and failed her, and she swore never to see him again. Chris became a world-famous actor, and Mary a respected professor, and only in the darkness of the movie theater did she allow herself to think of him. Then, in the flash and glare of reporters' cameras, they met again, and the smoldering love reignited. They had never officially divorced. Had he come back to reestablish their marriage... or end it irrevocably?
