      Synopsis

      This is a rare treat for fans. Originally published over ten years ago, Enemy Mine and The Haviland Touch are related books combining tender romance with action and suspense-precursors to the New York Times bestselling romantic thrillers that Kay Hooper writes today. The Real Thing contains both stories in one volume-for the first time ever.
