title: The Man of Her Dreams
author: Sands, Glenda
description: KNIGHT IN TARNISHED ARMOR
  
  Critics called her "the emerging grand mistress of the sensitive, sensual scene," but for
  Charity Lovejoy, romantic interludes had always been confined to the pages of her books. She knew how love was supposed to be, and she was waiting for the man of her dreams.
  
  Hard-boiled ex-cop Lance Palmer was about as far from a romantic hero as a gritty realist could get. Experience had taught him to distrust love, but what he felt for Charity was too strong to be denied. And Charity was quickly learning that reality could be more romantic than fiction.
  
  Could Lance be Charity's knight in shining armor?
