ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WARWith a bank account on life support and a resume of dead-end jobs (one involving a Chuck E. Cheese costume), Helen Hubler left Manhattan for Troy, Illinois, to sell her family property. The only interested buyer is the smoking hot veterinarian next door—the same man who destroyed the career of her recently deceased college boyfriend whose last request she refused. Guilt bolsters her resolve to resist Dr. Gordon Ruckman's offer...and to wage a little war in the bargain. Her messy life might be payback for the original Helen of Troy's crime, but this is one battle she'll win. Even if his plan to build a wildlife rescue center is the best idea ever. Even if she's caught between a rock and a—considering the white-hot chemistry between them—very hard place. And even if her heart, like the original Troy, has a way inside for a determined hero.
