Tall, dark, and handsome...

Emily Becket was swept away by a seductive Yankee professor. He made her feel beautiful, sexy and loved. But she had a deep dark family secret that she didn't know if she could tell him...and she was afraid she might lose him if he found out. What should a girl do? Read it and find out...

Wonderful, funny love story.

Professor Noble McEntire wants to go through some of Emily Becket's family papers to prove that his great, great grandfather wasn't the thief that everyone thought he was. Emily has been putting off Professor McEntire, as she's tired of historians always wanting to go through her great, great grandfather's papers looking for the missing "Union" gold. The two of them meet, for the first time, in a cemetary on Emily's 30th birthday, not realizing who the other is. Their next meeting takes place at a benefit Ball, and this time, they disover who the other is. Each time the two of them are together, the character of Emily is hilarious in her thoughts, the things she says, and the things she does. May Kay wrote Emily in a way that has you able to imagine your best friends with Emily discussing Professor McEntire and all his charms while giggling and laughing like school girls. The passion in the park scene will have you in stitches. Adding some mystery to the plot, Mary Kay keeps the reader in suspense about the elusive gold. Does it exisit?
