Love isn't always what it seems in these two timeless tales from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster IMPETUOUS When grade school teacher Carlie McDaniels trades in her frumpiness for an exotic harem girl Halloween costume, it's so long, spinsterhood-and hello, tall, dark and handsome Tyler Ramsey.
