Revisit a fan-favorite playful romance about a secret identity game and a chance of true love. Previously published as Amber by Night, from New York Times best-selling author Sharon Sala. From nine to five, she was Amelia Beauchamp, typical small-town librarian who lived with her loving elderly aunts. But every night, looking for a chance of freedom, Amelia turned into miniskirt-clad cocktail waitress Amber Champion…and she’d caught the eye of the town’s biggest rake, Tyler Savage. "Amber" was certain she had to keep playing the secret identity game, as Tyler would never be interested in her if he knew who she really was, and her family would never approve their relationship. But Tyler had figured out that proper Amelia and flirtatious Amber were one and the same. Both Amelia and Tyler were having a fine old time playing a game of secrets and lies, with romantic dinners and long, moonlit nights together. All it took was a leap of trust to give their love a real chance.
