Irresistible
Major Quinn McNamara's assignment to infiltrate a dangerous rebel camp in the wilds of North Africa had just been changed. Now the fierce agent had to rescue a wealthy senator's daughter. If Quinn didn't save Jennifer Sheridan, the lovely socialite would surely fall victim to her hostile captors.
Armed with his quick wits and her surefire courage, Quinn and Jennifer set out across the desert. Soon they found their mutual admiration turning into irresistible attraction. Under the blazing sun they gave in to their desires. But even with their undeniable passion, they couldn't forget they were still from different worlds.
Did they dare hope the love they found could survive when - if - they made it home?

About the author
Annette Broadrick
213 books42 followersAnnette Broadrick was born on November 26. Her mother read to her until she read to herself. From that time on, books became her closest companions and teachers. She was an only child until the middle of her 16th year when her sister was born.
She married immediately after high school graduation in the middle of her 18th year. Twelve months later she had her first son. She ended up having four sons in seven years. People with children do not need to explain what their life was like for the next 20 years. Those people without children do not want to hear about it. Early on, she became a secretary to supplement the family income. Eventually she became a legal secretary and for 25 years she worked for attorneys in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon.
Her love of books followed her throughout her career as a mother and a secretary. By the time her youngest son graduated from high school she decided to write a book of her own. After writing in a spiral notebook for six months, she rented a typewriter and rewrote the book, showed it to a creative writing teacher, who was also a friend, listened to her critique and rewrote her story. Next she showed it to another avid romance reader and carefully listened to her critique. She rewrote her story once again. Next she mailed the manuscript to the Silhouette office in New York. Two months later she received a phone call asking if she'd be willing to do extensive revisions, including cutting one hundred pages. She said yes. This was in January 1984. By the time the book, Circumstantial Evidence, came out in November of that year, she had sold a total of six books.
Since October 1984 Annette has supported herself with her writing. Her career as a published author has also supported her reading habit and in the past five years she has managed to establish a quiet life in the Hill Country of central Texas that soothes as well as stimulates her. She hopes to continue writing the kind of books that readers enjoy.

Picked up book because author's name seemed pretty. Felt like decent first effort, with dialogue somewhat forced and at times truly atrocious - like "do you like horseriding - if you promise me not to use a hip, i'll be glad to indulge you in the sport" moment; but the overall story was good, the setting insightful and different, characters true to their natures and in general a good effort.
