Who Is Elizabeth? (Paperback)

Pit a feisty, she-cat against a reluctant interloper and watch the sparks fly. When Elizabeth McDaniel's reclusive, sheltered existence on her grandfather's farm is invaded by Derek Huston, she cannot possibly imagine the stunning result of his intrusion into her life. And he has no idea how enchanted he will become with the lovely, spit-fire redhead who demonstrates her dead-eye, rifle aim on their first encounter. Their first clash of wills precedes a budding romance, the flowering of Elizabeth's musical talents with a guitar provided by Derek, and Derek's acceptance into the family. No one suspects that Derek has a hidden agenda so explosive that, when revealed, it turns Elizabeth's world upside down and her image of herself inside out. No longer able to trust Derek on any level, she erases him from her life and from her heart. Is there any hope that Derek can regain her confidence and her love? Find out in this delightful, warm, touching, compelling account of two people whose lives are dramatically changed by each other and who have to sort through the rubble of their existence before they can know if they have a future together. Patti Boeckman, author and collaborator with her husband, Charles Boeckman, of 25 Silhouette Romances in the 1980's, (which sold over two million copies worldwide) is known for characters who jump off the page. She is currently editing her husband's manuscripts after his return to writing when he recently made a comeback with anthologies of reprints of some of his pulp stories written in the 1940's and then went on to write contemporary mystery and suspense novels. His latest offering is a romantic suspense, PURSUED Married for 48 years, the couple has spent their married life working as a team. Their courtship was exactly like a contemporary romance story. Meeting, falling in love, an obstacle to love, the dark moment when all seemed hopeless, and a sudden reversal when she said "Yes." And they have lived happily ever after. Charles always describes their marriage thus: "We're still just as much in love as newlyweds." Patti says that Charles is quite the romantic. Eat your heart out, ladies
