SWEET MISCHIEF

the long version

A Gambler in Love... — Katie Reynolds had loved Bill Logan ever since they were kids, but he'd never considered her anything more than his best buddy, his partner in crime. So when he came home to Cape May and invited her to dinner, she wondered if the dream she'd cherished was finally coming true. Instead, Bill had an outrageous business deal in mind -- he'd restore her house and back her business... if she'd give him a child! He'd lost his faith in marriage after seeing so many friends fail, but Katie would dare anything to win Bill for keeps... even playing hard to get! She wanted courtship, marriage, and all the trimmings, or the deal was off, she told him. Bill was stunned to discover that the easygoing, sassy-mouthed brat of his youth was now a demanding minx who made up new rules faster than he could write them down -- but he'd never tasted sweeter ecstasy than her teasing lips, nor felt deeper hunger for a love that would last. Could she make him see that together they were perfect?
