2000 Kisses

Y2K complicates Boston PR whiz Tess O'Mara's life when an extra million dollars appears in her bank account. Only after she's spent a chunk of it does Tess discover that it's not the bonus she expected from her fabulously wealthy boss for a job well done. And whoever the money does belong to wants it back--bad. Forced into hiding, Tess heads for Almost, Arizona, to find her brother's old friend and Mel Gibson look-alike, Sheriff Jake McCall. Not your average small-town sheriff, Jake is just the man to keep Tess safe. Or is he? Tess finds her heart is in dire danger of being left behind in Almost with its quirky cast of characters, mysteriously compelling Mogollon cave dwellings, and one very sexy lawman. --Alison Trinkle
