Wizard

Wizard is Jayne Ann Krentz writing for Silhouette Desire in June 1985 as Stephanie James. The books, naturally, shows a bit of dating, but JAK's sparkling repartee, interesting characters and wit save this from dating too badly.She is Sophia Athena Bennett, daughter of two geniuses. She refers to herself as 'the disaster' because she felt she could never measure up to her parents expectations. So, she removes herself to Texas and becomes a secretary (with hopes of opening her own design boutique) and dates cowboys. She is quite content with her 'down-to-earth' real world, until the Wizard shows up. HE is Dr. Max Travers, a mathematical professor, friend of her parents - and a genius- in other words - a wizard. Once again, all those feelings of not measuring up comes into play. She is very attracted to Max, but tries to keep him at arms length fearing his disappointment in dating a non-wizard. However, Max will have none of it. He wants Sophia and is willing to go to all sorts of lengths to get her.It's funny, its sexy, it's warm...its JAK all the way.
