FROM THE PUBLISHER

He won't tell you about his feelings.
He'll keep his secret life a secret.
He'll turn on the sex appeal to light your fire,
then leave you smoldering as he runs off
to parts unknown ...
Isn't that ...
JUST LIKE A MAN?

His imaginative nine-year-old son claims he's a spy, but for Hannah Frost, headmistress of the elite Emerson Academy, Michael Sawyer is just another wealthy single parent with a precious—and precocious—little darling. Oh, the man is certainly handsome and sexy enough to leave her both shaken and stirred—hey, nobody does it better—but a secret agent? Come on!

Yet truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Turns out Michael is working undercover to unravel a web of intrigue and deception involving, of all things, her school! He reluctantly enlists her help, and as their liaison draws them closer together, Hannah is thrust into a world far more exciting—and dangerous—than any she's ever known. One where people aren't what they seem and where words, even ones of love, may not be true.

About the Author:

Elizabeth Bevarly wrote her first novel when she was twelve years old. It was 32 pages long—and that was with college rule notebook paper—and featured three girls named Liz, Marianne and Cheryl who explored the mysteries of a haunted house. Her friends Marianne and Cheryl proclaimed it "Brilliant! Spellbinding! Kept me up till dinnertime reading!" Those rave reviews only kindled the fire inside her to write more.
