Before such <i>New York Times</i> bestselling thrillers as <b>Blood Dreams</b> and <b>Sleeping with Fear</b>, Kay Hooper made her mark with novels uniquely blending romance and suspense. In this new edition of <b>C.J.'s Fate</b>, Hooper delivers a funny, sexy, heartfelt story about breaking free, taking chances—and finding the last thing you're looking for.<br><b><br></b>Librarian C. J. Adams thinks marriage is a fine tradition—for somebody else. The love of her life is history, and in her experience, few men compare with the daring heroes who shaped civilization. Well-traveled, well-educated, and content to stay single, C.J. is convinced she isn't missing anything. But her close friends disagree. When they resolve to find her soul mate during a trip to Aspen, C.J. stays a step ahead of them by enlisting a gorgeous stranger to pose as her lover. But the man proves to be far more charismatic—and convincing—than she expected, and C.J. soon discovers a side of herself she didn't know existed. She never imagined that the Rockies had more in store for her than a skiing trip with friends, but whether she likes it or not, C.J.'s fate is about to be sealed.
