Last Man Standing
by Julie Miller

Undercover cop Cole Taylor had his hands full sustaining a secret identity as he worked to expose a Kansas City crime boss — while living under the enemy's roof! The last thing he needed was a snooty intellectual type interfering in his investigation, asking suspicious questions and snooping where she shouldn't. Besides, with all that fiery red hair and miles of silky skin, Victoria Westin didn't look like any professor he knew....

She had the touch-me-not beauty of an aristocrat and fit right in with their upper-crust hosts. But the streetwise Taylor from working-class roots would have to persuade Miss High-and-Mighty to cooperate with his plan to save his life — and now hers, too. And if he couldn't gain her cooperation by his usual methods, he'd blackmail her with bedroom fantasies to "maintain cover."

Julie Miller's Bio

Born and raised in Missouri, Julie now lives in Nebraska. She attributes her passion for writing romance to the fairy tales she read growing up, and shyness. Her family encouraged her to write down all those feelings she couldn't express and she soon developed a love of the written word. Today, she gets continued support from her fellow members in PRW, her husband Scott, and son Ryne.

Inspired by the likes of Agatha Christie and Encyclopedia Brown, she believed the only thing better than a good mystery was a good romance. She decided to combine the two and began writing for Harlequin Intrigue in 1999. She loves writing gritty, action-packed, emotionally-compelling stories.

With ten published books to her credit, Julie will add to that tally in 2003 with the release of four new novels from Harlequin Intrigue and Harlequin Blaze.
