A Man of Mystery
Charles, Maggi
Video shop owner Shelley Mitchell was fascinated by the stranger wearing an oversize coat, a battered hat and dark glasses. Though "Ned Alexander" became a steady customer, revealing the manly build and winter-blue eyes behind his camouflage, his past remained a puzzle. Who was this mystery man who microwaved gourmet dinners in her office, played Santa at her Christmas party, kissed her senseless, then abruptly retreated?

A "professional wanderer," he'd said--no roots, no regrets. Still, Shelley sensed haunting memories, a pain too deep for words, behind his nonchalant exterior. Dare she hope desire would finally unmask him? Dare she dream this rolling stone might one day find a home in her heart?
