In Linda Lael Miller's contemporary thriller, "Never Been to Anphar", a mysterious undercover agent, who deliciously resembles Harrison Ford, rescues a woman from terrorists, and in "Bridge of Dreams", Susan Wiggs tells of a lonely French teacher who travels to Paris to see if the man she once loved (Daniel Day-Lewis's double?) remembers a promise made a decade before, Sean Connery's portrayal of King Arthur inspired Mary Jo Putney to pen "Avalon", in which Arthur returns to the arms of his one true love, the Lady of the Lake.

In each lush, fabulously romantic setting -- from King Arthur's court to the Old West -- a hunk of a hero sweeps you away to passion and adventure.
