What A Man Needs

By Patricia Thayer

Actress Cynthia Reynolds grew tired of keeping herself perfect for each movie role, so she returned home for a break. One night she met brooding Patrick Tanner, who didn't know he was flirting with a Hollywood starlet. And she had a thing or two to show this country boy!

With a legacy like his, Patrick didn't need any complications, but Cynthia charmed him to distraction. In fact, as time stood still with her, he realized one night wasn't enough but a lifetime could be just right.
