Golden Threads

Passion, suspense, and a bit of magic come together in an irresistible short novel from bestselling author Kay Hooper’s Once Upon a Time series: the tale of a real-life Rapunzel who needs a hero fast. Lara Mason just wants to let her hair down a little. A community theater production of a children’s fairy tale seems like a perfectly harmless break from a life in hiding. But the cyber criminals who murdered her father are stalking her, and they’ve tracked her down once again. Enter Devon Shane—dark, brooding, and sexy as a rock star, the chivalrous counterpart to her Rapunzel. Before long her mysterious co-star pulls her out of harm’s way—twice—and kisses her senseless, adding a seductive twist to a savage plot. Working undercover for the FBI, Devon thinks he’s got his part down cold: act the prince, protect the fair maiden, and break up a ring of spies trading on corporate espionage. But as soon as Devon lays eyes on brave, lovely Lara, he starts improvising. Because the powerful emotions he’s feeling are as real as the peril she’s facing. Now, with a relentless evil closing in, he needs to win Lara’s trust if he wants a shot at happily ever after. Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
