Not that it matters. I build romance for others… not myself. There's no way I'm falling for a steer wrestler with a sinful smile and awkward rambles. I've already had one cowboy break my heart. I don't intend to make it two.

The national burglar of France faces off against the national detective of England in two unforgettable stories.

Yet all too many of us clutch our grievances and give away our power by remaining victims of the people who have hurt us.
