Bernadette "Bernie" Hogan is one tough lady. Ex-military, excellent marksman, and martial arts expert, she works as a private security guard to self-made millionaire playboy Jeremy Bridges. She is totally in control, alert, and analytical, until one night when she notices that Jeremy's "bimbo" of the night is not what she seems; Bernie protects Jeremy and foils a robbery at his mansion. Bernie and Jeremy fight over his endless string of nightly one-stands but end up in bed together, despite themselves. And the result? Bernie gets pregnant, with twins nonetheless. But is Jeremy Bridges ready to throw out his old ways and become an adoring husband and father? Read this novel, love every word and find out!

Jane Graves has created the perfect romance with twists and turns in the story that will keep the reader absorbed until the book's satisfying ending. The characters in Black Ties and Lullabies are totally believable. Jeremy is the kind of intelligent, caring guy that every wealthy playboy should emulate. Even Bernie's disreputable cousin Billy is fun, her mother Eleanor is delightful, and Teresa, Bernie's Super-Mom friend, shows the reader what really exists behind her perfect image.
