Setting: San Francisco

Sensuality: 8

Security expert Daisy Parker once spent an unforgettable night of passion with society photographer Nick Coltrane, but he disappeared the next morning, taking her heart with him. It's nine years later when Nick walks back into Daisy's life to hire her services as a bodyguard. Daisy's still angry at him, but she really needs the money, so she takes the job and moves in with Nick to protect him 24 hours a day. Unfortunately for Daisy, Nick hasn't told her quite all the truth about the trouble he's in and protecting him from thugs gets really complicated, really fast. But keeping Nick alive and healthy pales in comparison to the difficulty Daisy has with guarding her heart from him. Beneath her justifiable anger, she's as attracted to Nick as she was nine years before and Nick shows all the signs of wanting her just as badly. If these two can manage to stay alive, will Nick find a way to convince Daisy that this time their future includes marriage and happy ever after?

Baby, Don't Go is a fast train of suspense, comedy, lust, and love. The heroine's tough-as-nails outer shell conceals a vulnerable interior that the hero, macho though he is, understands perfectly. No one does romantic comedy with a twist of suspense quite like Andersen. --Lois Faye Dyer
