Runaway - by Kate Walker - Harlequin Presents - # 1374 - 1991.


Shame had forced Rowan to run away.
She ran from her home, her family, and the blackmailing attempts of her stepbrother.
It catapulted her headlong into the life of the unsuspecting Nathan Kennedy. Falling in love with him was easy, but confronting his involvement with the lovely Meryl, and dealing with her own past, proved more difficult for Rowan.
When he asked, “Who are you? What do you want?” she cold give him no answer . . . for she knew the truth would change his feelings for her.

Facing the impossible was part of her job.
Called to Istanbul to replace her boss on a lucrative building project, gifted architect Stephanie Rodgers was prepared to do her level best.
What she wasn’t prepared for, however, was her client’s undeniably chauvinistic attitude toward career women, or the increasingly magnetic attraction for each other that friction generated.
One of them would have to compromise, Stephanie with her modern, emancipated pride, or Tariq Hamid, with his ancient, male-oriented culture. Otherwise, nothing could come of the real love growing between them.

“It will serve you right if you fell madly in love with a successful career woman,” Tessa said.
“I’d prefer to be a bachelor forever in that case,” Patrick replied.
Their battle of wills was inevitable, but would one of them emerge the winner?

“I am more your type than you think,” Joel Blake had said. “We’re the same sort of people, Harriet. We both cherish, dreams and we both hide it.” But there was no way Harriet was going to admit that.
