The Tender Barbarian
AN UNLIKELY COMBINATION

After a high point that wasn't all that high, Emily McCloud's life had begun a slow, gentle decline, and there was no reason to believe it would ever climb again. A spinster schoolteacher, Emily was a bit old-fashioned and hopelessly tradition bound.

But that was before the advent of Beyard Jones. Totally unpredictable, completely unconventional, Bey didn't fit any stereotype and broke every mold. When he roared into Emily's life on his BMW motorcycle she did her level best to eject him. But his warmth unnerved her, his tenderness swept her away. Emily soon realized that there was a bit of the barbarian in everyone ... and now she had one of her very own.
