ONCE MORE WITH FEELING — As a Washington, D.C. Correspondent, Liz Sherwood had made her mark. And she was looking at a plum promotion -- a job anchoring the nightly news for one of the major networks -- when her life began to fall apart. Always one to keep cool under pressure, Liz left the capital for her neglected country house in the far reaches of Virginia.
Deke Adler couldn't believe his eyes. What was a celebrity like Liz Sherwood doing in Woodsley, Virginia? Unlike Washington, Woodsley couldn't offer much more than an earful of gossip, a small collection of livestock, and a few hundred apple trees.
But life as a journalist had taught Liz how to roll with the punches. She could deal with bats and cobweb ghosts, but she was a sucker for the charms of her drop-dead gorgeous neighbor. In Deke's arms, Liz found the love and passion that had been missing in her life. His strong embrace was tempting, but Liz knew she couldn't hide from the world too long. Liz Sherwood had a story to break -- before it broke her spirit forever.
Maura Seger was born in 1951. She and her husband, Michael, met while they were both working for the same company. They married after a whirlwind courtship that might have been taken directly from romance novel. She credits her husband's patient support and good humor for helping her fulfill the lifelong dream of being a writer.
She is happily at work on a new novel, because she finds that writing each romance is and adventure filled with fascinating people who never fail to surprise her. When she isn't writing, she keeps busy homeschooling her two children and thinking of new stories. She lives in New England, USA, with her husband, children and menagerie... mostly.
