TV reporter Candy Sloan has eyes the color of cornflowers and legs that stretch all the way to heaven. She also has somebody threatening to rearrange her lovely face if she keeps on snooping into charges of Hollywood racketeering.
Spenser's job is to keep Candy healthy until she breaks the biggest story of her career. But her star witness has just bowed out with three bullets in his chest, two tough guys have doubled up to test Spenser's skill with his fists, and Candy is about to use her own sweet body as live bait in a deadly romantic game--a game that may cost Spenser his life.

A WLVH Radio Series and Everything But... Series short story.Take one WLVH disc jockey who adopts a special dog.Add in one man who thinks he's lost everything.Let one Everything But... grandmother, Nana Vancy, stir things up.And maybe find Nothing But Love in this story that's full of Christmas magic.From the AuthorI wrote this story to give readers a brief introduction to my two Avalon series, The WLVH Radio series, and The Everything But... series. I wrote the books for Avalon, a small mainstream publisher that distributed beautiful hardback books to libraries. In June 2012, Montlake Romance bought Avalon, along with its backlist. Montlake has rereleased all the books in both series in both paperback and eBook versions.As a writer I'm thrilled to see the two series get a chance to reach a whole new group of readers. And as a dog owner, I'm happy to tell a story about a special little dog who found her forever home with a WLVH disc jockey...and the man she falls for. I have written romantic comedy since I started writing. Someone once called one of my comedies "frothy" and I was so complimented. That's exactly what these books are meant to be, "frothy" treats. Stories to give you a break from the real world for a little bit. I'm still writing more emotional, heart-tugging stories for Harlequin's SuperRomance. I enjoy writing them as well. But my first love is frothy romantic comedies, or sweet humorous romances. I hope you'll check out the WLVH Radio and the Everything But... books.And I so hope you enjoyed this first Nothing But... short story!
