    In this “snappy, sassy, sizzling hot” romantic suspense from a New York Times bestseller, a woman mistaken for her twin is taken hostage by bounty hunter (Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum mystery series). 
     
    A Ride On the Wild Side 
     
    The last place Catherine MacPherson ever expected to find herself was sitting on a Greyhound bus, handcuffed to a surly bounty hunter, with only a suitcase of her twin sister’s flashy, shrink-wrap clothing to wear! Just two hours ago, the respectable schoolteacher was sitting quietly at home when this big macho hunk crashed through her door, mistook her for her errant Miami showgirl sister, and hauled her off in his strong arms. And no matter how sexy he is, she’s furious! 
     
    Twins—ha! Sam McKade’s the last person to ever fall for that line. He’s finally got the gorgeous, leggy redhead just where he wants her—and no matter what outrageous tricks she pulls, he’s not letting her get away. 
     
    The problem is, she’s a lot smarter—and sweeter—than he’d expected. And he’s got this deep-buried tenderness she hadn’t expected. And their kisses are so hot, they just might burn up . . . before they sort it all out.

    Shakespeare has never been this sexy!
     
    One evening when helping a colleague stage The Merchant of Venice, English professor Jessica Randall slides momentarily back to 1598. Later that night, she lands for good in the chambers of one William Shakespeare, a down-on-his luck playwright.
     
    His biggest problem of late has been a non-stop stream of Jessicas apparating into his chambers nightly. Yet Jessica's appearance halts the visitations, though neither have a clue why. Can she get back to 2018? They don't know that either, and together they begin to craft a life together, all the while trying to break the time travel curse and avoid falling in love.
     
    As Jessica grapples with practical (what is and how does one put on a farthingale?) and emotional (how to risk your heart when everything might disappear in an instant?) aspects of adapting to Elizabethan London, she must try to solve the mystery of the other Jessicas. More importantly, she must figure out how to get home without suffering from the broken heart she knows she can't avoid.
     
    Despite being thwarted at every turn, Jessica manages to navigate her new world and her old one and save not only herself but Will Shakespeare and his legacy.
