☆☆☆☆☆Contemporary, spicy
Mr. Hyde was fit to be tied! Rugged Austin Hyde was up to his brawny biceps in a bizarre situation.

Worse, rumor had it that the elegant Candice VanAusdale might be making a baby simply to inherit big bucks—without having a clue the kid would be his! Mr. Hyde was fit to be tied, but not tied down by a web of lies. Yet how to untangle "Dr. Jekyll's " deception?
More…“What can I say? I loved every minute of it. Humor, suspense, and knowing how badly one would want to “pulverize” a brother were the tips of the ice berg. Getting to know Candice and Austin, both artists in their own right, was fascinating fun that I’d like to do again . . . and again . . . and again.” – Marianne Gibson, WRDF Reviews …full review
