Beyond the Olympic Peninsula

Action star George Reed Masters has spent much of his last twenty years on movie sets, surrounded by willing women. Longing to be seen as a serious actor, he takes on a role that requires him to lose serious weight. So maybe it’s not the best time to hire his aunt’s private chef, Rose. Has the punishing diet scrambled his brain? George wants her... badly. But unlike any other woman in his orbit, Rose is quiet and reserved, and a committed relationship with a civilian doesn’t jibe with his career plans. Though Rose feels the heat, she is determined to hold onto her job--and her heart.

Henry would gladly choose love over stardom. Rina won’t let him. Newly divorced from her skunk of a husband, country music idol Rina Bakersfield is en route from Las Vegas to Bend, Oregon, where her parents have been caring for her young daughter. When her car breaks down, a charming mechanic comes to the rescue. Henry is handsome as sin and sings and plays guitar like an angel. In no time, Rina is convinced he could become a country music heartthrob. Despite the explosive chemistry that leaves them both reeling, she cannot picture a future together.
