Summary: At some point early this week, I had a wee passing thought along the lines of, "Oh, someone should totally write the wrongfully-accused escaped convict falls in love with their hostage story." And then, lickety-split, ideas were popping into my brain for titles! Excerpts! Horribly cheesy back cover copy! And more romance-novel cliches than you can shake a stick at!

So, ( Six variations on a fugitive theme )
