Adventures in Romance #2

In Shanghai's dangerous waterways, American sailor Nick Farrell finds himself caught between duty and conscience when a desperate young woman named May Ling hijacks his river junk with an urgent mission: she must reach the munitions depot at Chung-Tsin before General Fu Chen arrives to capture it for enemy forces. As the two navigate treacherous waters and double-crosses—with a greedy captain and a pursuing military vessel standing in their way—Nick discovers he's willing to risk everything to help May Ling complete her mission. Leonard Starr illustrates this tale of wartime intrigue and unexpected alliance in the Shanghai night.

Two young Americans who hate the cold discover they have far more in common than first impressions suggest when they meet at a Swiss Alpine resort—and a dramatic avalanche rescue turns their mutual disdain for winter into something warmer. Gary Faberton, a painter who won his trip in a contest, and Laura, who's there against her better judgment, realize they're kindred spirits in their shared misery, and decide their future might be better spent somewhere else entirely. It's a charming reminder that sometimes the person you think is all wrong for you might be exactly right.
