Roses
A PASSION FOR FASHION

In the fashion industry, the house of Roses was known for its romantic approach to women's apparel. From the delicate lace to the dramatic lines, each Roses creation reflected the romantic spirit of designer Brett Fraser. But someone was stealing Brett's designs from the drawing board and selling them to Roses' fiercest competitor. Cheap knockoffs of exquisite Roses dresses were appearing all over town. If the thefts didn't stop, Brett was going to lose everything--his company, his savings, his dreams.

When Brett hired an agency to investigate, he hardly expected to find a woman like K.C. Stuart on the case. Could this auburn-haired, blue-eyed pixie of a girl really be a specialist in industrial espionage? She was too pretty, too vulnerable...too irresistible.

At first, K.C. had tried to dodge the Roses investigation. With her vacation long overdue, she needed time off, time to decide if she wanted to stay in this dirty business. But the minute she stepped into the Roses showroom, K.C. fell in love with the dresses--and the commanding de-signer. From his jet-black hair to his rugged face, Brett Fraser exuded elegance, charm, and passion. With the heady scent of roses in the air, K.C. knew it would require a supreme effort to solve this case without losing her heart in the process. But K.C. Stuart never could resist a
challenge.
