2000 Kisses
Setting: Contemporary ArizonaSensuality Rating: 8Y2K complicates Boston PR whiz Tess O'Mara's life when an extra  million dollars appears in her bank account. Only after she's  spent a chunk of it does Tess discover that it's not the bonus she  expected from her fabulously wealthy boss for a job well done. And  whoever the money does belong to wants it back--bad. Forced  into hiding, Tess heads for Almost, Arizona, to find her brother's  old friend and Mel Gibson look-alike, Sheriff Jake McCall. Not  your average small-town sheriff, Jake is just the man to keep Tess  safe. Or is he? Tess finds her heart is in dire danger of being  left behind in Almost with its quirky cast of characters,  mysteriously compelling Mogollon cave dwellings, and one very sexy  lawman.--Alison Trinkle
