It all started with someone launching a killer missile at Template's secret identity, Jenny’s aunt-er-uncle, Randy...

"What for?"

"I'll come back in a bit."

Falling in love must be easy, at least Maryanne Peters makes it seem so -- but maybe it's a risk worth taking to enjoy a happy ending.
 

Risky Endeavors

RiskyEnd-cov-002_0.jpg

Here are eighteen stories of lumberjacks and bodyguards, fishermen and drag racers, plumbers and financiers who took a risk and fell in love with someone unexpected. They're a lot of fun and one or two of them might make you laugh-out-loud or even get a little teary-eyed. You should take that risk -- after all, romance is worth it.
