Readers are treated to two stories in one book with Samantha Chase's EXCLUSIVE and A TOUCH OF HEAVEN.

EXCLUSIVE  

It's a chance of a lifetime for reporter Taylor Scott to become well-known after a reclusive author requests that she be the first one to interview him. While Jonathan Wade is a best-selling author, no one has ever seen him. Now Taylor has a chance to change all that, but she must travel to Maine and stay with the man at his remote property. She arrives and is met by Mr. Wade's assistant, Mike Green, a man from her past who was her ex's best friend. His boss is away at the moment, but Mike has been instructed to acclimatize Taylor to the area. As Taylor and Mike become reacquainted, they begin to enjoy their time spent together. But something feels off to her. Is Mike being honest with her about his boss?

The first time Mike and Taylor knew one another, she was involved with another man. But after a contentious breakup with her ex, she drifted apart from Mike. Will the time spent together allow them to rekindle something that will lead to more than friendship? Mike seems to have a cushy job that gives him the run of the property, which leads Taylor to wonder about Mike. Readers will question if Jonathan Wade really exists or what Mike is hiding. Taylor starts to develop feelings for Mike but she is hot and cold about them because she is supposed to be working and doesn't want to give a bad impression when Mr. Wade shows up. Mike begins to wonder if she thinks less of him because he is the hired help. Will things work out enough for them to find a future together? And what happens when… and if …the mysterious author shows up?
