Classic Stuart!

Omigod, I remember reading this book when it came out in the early eighties--and was blown away. It was my first Harlequin American, my first Anne Stuart, and I remember thinking, I didn't know romance novels could be like this! The heroine is anorectic and having a nervous breakdown, so she takes a leave of absence from her high-pressure job and becomes a ghost-writer for the hero's gay male-adventure novelist father, who's having writer's block. Every one of his novels included the sentence, "Matt Decker surveyed the carnage around him." This book inspired me to become a romance writer, which I did. If you can possibly get your hands on it, read it!
