A day at the beach with grandma!

Life is definitely coming together for Marcella Tartaglia--New York City, an exciting publishing career with a major lifestyle magazine, the BIG promotion. She's on assignment in England and open to a weekend fling, especially when the perfect hottie roars up on his motorcycle outside the church at her ex-boss's wedding. Too bad William doesn't do flings. The Reverend William Stafford is a blue-blooded country vicar in want of a wife and a real danger to a girl like Marcella who can't afford to lose her heart in England when all her dreams are waiting an ocean away. Still, Marcella and William explore their mutual attraction only to realize their lives are headed in different directions. Marcella hails from a small ethnic neighborhood with a determination to work her way to the top of her profession in America's most exciting city. And although the Honorable William John Anthony Grafton Stafford, being the third son of an English viscount, comes from a titled British family, he's chosen the simple life as the vicar of a small parish in a Cotswold village. A weekend isn't nearly long enough to resolve a possible future together. All they know is that they're really starting to feel something. . . . From the pastoral Cotswolds to the fast-paced magazine publishing world of New York, I Only Want To Be With You is a smart, witty, romantic comedy of one modern woman's struggle to make the ultimate choice between her personal dreams and the call of her heart.

Maggie Russell, a night-shift police reporter in Sacramento, tackles a serial killer who targets her, while an undercover FBI agent—disguised as her new love interest—protects her from both danger and deception.
