赤いサテンの誘惑

by Carole Buck

MR. WRONG

That was what Hayley Jerome needed--and fast! She'd told her meddling mother that she had a fiance, and now they were all supposed to meet. The hitch was that there was no fiance, until sexy co-worker Nick O'Neill conned his way into playing "Michael Becker"-the worst the male race had to offer. Mom could meet the hideous "Mikey," Hayley would dump the creep, and no one would be wiser.

Trouble was, Hayley was beginning to like Mikey--er, Nick. And when they got involved in a dangerous scam, Nick's protective arms looked oh, so inviting. Hayley's overwed mom had made her wary of love, but Nick was beginning to steal her heart. What was a woman to do?

3 1/2 Stars! ~ Hayley works at the Department of Justice as a researcher following the paper trail of crimes committed. Nick is an undercover agent for the Department and he's just come off a very intense case. He'd always meant to get to know Hayley better but it seemed they never ran into each other, until now. He convinces her to go to dinner with him and Hayley finds herself confiding in him that her mother's coming to town and that Hayley has to produce a fiance, one that she's made up to get her matchmaking mother off her back. Nick volunteers to play the part, after all he's a master of disguise. The plan is to become a fiance that Hayley's mother will dislike so much that she'll encourage Hayley to dump him and hopefully also put a stop to her meddling. And so the fun begins, as Nick takes out Hayley on dates as various characters from bikers to millionaires. Only Hayley loves the game and gets right into the role playing. On one of the dates, they run into a shady character Nick had tried to put away, and Nick has to resume that undercover role once again placing Hayley in danger.

This was a fun read. It's obvious Nick and Hayley are meant for each other and alot of fun watching them realize it too. The dangerous undercover scheme they get involved in adds an element of intrigue. Well done!
