Janet Dailey

Fire and Ice - The Americana Series Janet Dailey

Brief Description: A woman in need of a husband to keep her family together strikes a bargain with a man who is willing to be married in name only, but they are both surprised when they seem to be falling in love. Publisher Marketing: Every novel in this collection is your passport to a romantic tour of the United States through time-honored favorites by America's First Lady of romance fiction. Each of the fifty novels is set in a different state, researched by Janet and her husband, Bill. For the Daileys it was an odyssey of discovery. For you, it's the journey of a lifetime. Your tour of desire begins with this story set in California. His proposition was tempting...."Let me help you, Alisa." Zachary's voice was a soft, caressing whisper that was oddly soothing and hypnotic. "You've taken the world on your shoulders by making Chris your sole responsibility. Haven't you ever wanted someone to take care of you?" As much as she wanted to, Alisa wouldn't admit any such feelings to him. She felt curiously vulnerable, unable to handle the uncharacteristic gentleness Zachary was displaying. And she was afraid-afraid she'd give in to him. She couldn't let Zachary break down her defenses! Janet Dailey, who passed away in 2013, was born Janet Haradon in 1944 in Storm Lake, Iowa.
