Ideal Man

#1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood returns with a
contemporary romance that's pulse-pounding in every sense of the word.

Julie Garwood is among the most critically acclaimed-and popular-romance
authors around, with thirty-six million copies of her books in print. And now,
with The Ideal Man, Garwood is poised to expand that already huge audience.
Dr. Ellie Sullivan has just completed her residency at a large urban hospital.
While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in
pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person
to see the shooter's face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation.
Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no-nonsense lawman, he's
definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet she's attracted to
him in a way she can't explain.

Ellie heads home to Winston Falls, South Carolina, to attend her sister's
wedding. Shortly after she arrives, though, she receives a surprise visitor: Max
Daniels. The Landrys have been captured, and she'll be called to testify. But
they've been captured before, and each time the witnesses are scared into
silence-or disappear before they can take the stand. Max vows to be Ellie's
shadow until the trial, and it isn't long before sparks fly.
