A Fine Madness (Man of the World, Book 1) (Silhouette Desire, No 668)

Quinn Rutledge has been hired to remodel historic Hartley Hall into a 5-star hotel. Ian Matthews, a Special Forces officer in the Queen's Protection service, is vetting the hall's security for a secret international meeting, and presents himself to Quinn as a corporate officer checking on her progress. All seems simple enough, until the pair uncover a crazed band of terrorists, a destructive ghost with an odd sense of humor, and an inconvenient attraction to each other. Neither have time for love, and Ian is the embodiment of everything that went wrong with Quinn's first marriage. But Love doesn't care.
