Party time, oh it's party time!

ROMANCE AUTHOR CHERIS HODGES RETURNS THIS MAY WITH

FORCES OF NATURE, BEING PUBLISHED BY DAFINA BOOKS

Opposites attract in this contemporary romance about a straight-laced
idealistic woman who meets her match.

Author Cheris Hodges has the unique ability of being able to appeal to
readers of women’s fiction as well as urban fiction with her edgy and
sassy characters. Her stories are fresh, modern and
sexy. RT Book Reviews praised her most recent release Too Hot For Tv
calling it a winning romance that readers will love” while author Farrah
Rochon simply says “count on Cheris Hodges to deliver a sassy, sexy
romantic read.” Now, Hodges returns with FORCES OF NATURE, a
contemporary romance about a straight-laced idealistic woman who meets
her match.
When Crystal Hughes handcuffs herself to the
receptionist's desk at the lobby of Welco Industries, she just wanted to
prove a point--no one was going to tear down the more than 100 acres of
farmland that had been in her family since the turn of the century. But
she never expected that the person at the head of the project would be
as handsome as Douglas Wellington, III. Likewise, Douglas Wellington,
III wasn't going to let some grassroots protester stop his plan. Tearing
down the farmland and turning it into a multimillion dollar business
park was going to do wonders for the city--invigorate the community and
add thousands of new jobs, but when he spots Crystal, who's spunky
and full of fire, the project seems to be the last thing on his mind.
Now these two opposites will have to figure out what's real and what's
really worth fighting for.
