BEAUTIFUL WEAPON

Tess woke up naked, confused…and without a single memory. But she knew something terrible was about to happen. She could trust no one, but Dr. Ryan Donovan's soothing voice calmed her fears and called to her woman's heart. The trouble was, he worked for the enemy….

Ryan had heard of sleepers before…ordinary men and women brainwashed to perform horrible acts, but he couldn't believe Tess was capable of violence. She was beautiful and funny, and in desperate need of a protector. But when her nightmares increased, the clock began ticking down. If Ryan wanted to protect Tess, he had to first betray his closest of allies, and then stop her at all costs….

About the author

After twenty years of working in a special school with children with severe emotional problems, school psychologist, Susan Peterson, decided that she desperately needed a few more humorous and happy-ever-after moments in her life. So she took the leap and started writing romance novels. There was plenty of early disappointments when Susan learned that the publishing world wasn't anxiously awaiting her literary contribution, but her big moment came when she won first place in the Harlequin Duet's Writer's Contest in the fall of 1999. Her excitement about winning quickly increased when she learned that Harlequin was interested in publishing her first romantic comedy, EVERYTHING BUT ANCHOVIES. Susan lives with her son, Kevin, their nut ball dog, Ozzie and the supreme princess, Phoenix the cat, in the Champlain Valley in upper New York State. Although Susan loves the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains in spring, summer and fall, she isn't yet convinced that shovelling several feet of snow every winter is worth the effort. Unfortunately, her efforts to relocate her family to the balmy warmth of the Southeast isn't being met with much co-operation from Kevin, Ozzie and Phoenix. For some reason, the three of them aren't very keen about leaving the frozen north!
