Nikki Ashton is in the wrong place at the wrong time and fleeing for her life comes face-to-face with a much needed white knight. Though at first she was ready to CRY WOLF it doesn't take long for her to realize he really was going to help her. Never imagining just how much this man planned to do for her.

Harper Beaumont is a wealthy businessman who enjoyed playing the rescuer and is intrigued by the pert beauty that was in distress and he wants more. After she disappears he has enough information to find her again and offer her the chance of a lifetime. Is he really offering his heart? If so he is taking a chance hoping she can see him as a man, a lover and not just as her hero.

CRY WOLF is the perfect book to curl up and let it take you away. CRY WOLF is a Retro Romance reprint, originally published in 1992 under the name Amanda Carpenter, but while reading you will find it is definitely Thea Harrison's work.

The character of Harper could have been written today as a wealthy alpha and fit right in and Nikki isn't the typical helpless damsel; she knows what she wants and not want in life. Part of Nikki's problem is that Harper is emotionally uncommunicative that leads him to not say exactly what he means, though Nikki does manage to pull things out of him. CRY WOLF holds the usual troublemaker and misdirection caused by that person, and an adorable adopted son as secondary characters. Little Charlie, of course, adds to the tug to Nikki's heart strings. Anyone who needs and enjoys a "rescue turns to love romance" CRY WOLF is the one you want to get you hands on.

Book Summary

Can a white knight change from protector to lover?

Fleeing for her life, Nikki Ashton rounds a corner and runs into an unyielding wall of man. Injured and desperate for rescue, she’s the very picture of a damsel in distress. Businessman Harper Beaumont is more than willing to act as her white knight—and after taking care of her he offers Nikki the career chance of a lifetime.

But Nikki sees more in Harper than just her savior. She sees a man she can fall in love with. But Harper needs a strong, passionate woman at his side, and though Nikki knows she can be that woman for him, he only views her as a girl in need of protection…
