"A memorable debut with appealing characters and a touch of mystery." —RT Book Reviews

Hot on the trail of a technology thief, private investigator Duncan Moore is convinced that he's found him in beautiful Moonshell Bay. What he needs is proof. When he goes to ask the neighbor if he can do surveillance from her upstairs bedroom—wow! Sparks fly right off the bat—and now he has two reasons to stay. Mallory Baines isn't sure she wants a hot, single guy in her house 24/7 ... although her matchmaking family certainly is. They're ready to throw the engagement party!

Duncan isn't prepared for a woman as distracting and unique as Mallory. When his surveillance of her—er, his suspect—begins to show signs that she might be involved with the crook, Duncan knows he'll have to get even closer. It isn't enough that she's caught him looking—he has to catch his thief, too. But when it all goes down, who is catching whom?

This is sweet romance, meaning that while there is sexual tension, the bedroom door is firmly closed. First published in 2003 as Her Private Eye by Harlequin Books.
