Iris Johansen

Two great romances in one volume — *** The Golden Valkyrie — Feisty and beautiful private detective Honey Winston had been duped by a client into invading Prince Rubinoff's hotel suite by concealing herself in a too-small room service cart. When cigar smoke flushed her from her hiding place, Honey rose to face the mocking prince the goss... more »ip columns called "Lusty Lance." But the man she came to know as she looked behind the glittering facade was an artist filled with longing, a man whose need was expressed in exquisite paintings the world would never see. Honey gently taught him to trust her and tried to share the dream he saw. Would the gift of her love allow Lance to escape his gilded prison for the haven of her heart?

*** The Trustworthy Redhead

When Princess Rubinoff hired Sabrina Courtney to deliver very special birthday wishes to her husband's best friend, she never warned her that Alex ben Rashid had a powerful weakness for redhaired ladies... an omission that made their fist meeting a volatile one. From the moment Alex saw her he wanted to possess her totally, to make her succumb to his desire for her. But, though Sabrina could be pliable and tender when it was on her own terms, her independent nature rebelled at his arrogance. Could a man who was used to getting everything he wanted learn to trust the woman he loved?
