Showing Capture a Shadow by Leigh Michaels

When top-selling romance novelist Valerie St. John announced that she was giving up her career, and disappeared into obscurity in the Midwest, editor Shelby Stuart was appalled. Unless she could persuade Valerie to write another book for her, Shelby would be fired. But the man who was supposed to be helping her look for Valerie -- Mark Buchanan -- seemed to be more interested in Shelby herself than in the search, and Shelby felt as if she was hunting a shadow.

Award-winning romance novelist sends up the entire romance-writing and romance-reading community, along with writers in general, in this light-hearted romp of a story.
