aka Marie Charles, Marie Michael, Marie Nicole, Marie Ferrarella
Marie Rydzynski was born on March 28 in West Germany to Polish parents. She moved to America at the age of four. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York.
Marie swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother." From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favourite shows. I was a detective on '77 Sunset Strip,' the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on 'Bonanza' and the 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.' before there was a 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,' not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories of 'The Mickey Mouse Club.'" Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance! She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on the man she would marry, truly her first love, Charles Ferrarella. During her days at Queens College, New York, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specialising in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart. Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto,"the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, Nikky and Jessi, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
In November of 1981, she sold her first novel for Harlequin. Marie, who now has written over 150 novels, has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that her reader's enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

Very cute, very sweet read. Abandoned twins begin the reconnection of two old friends (daycare manager and paediatrician) who have a long and complicated history. Miscommunication and misunderstandings are prevalent throughout this love story unfolding until sense is knocked into these two lovebirds.

Hannah's surprised to find twin babies abandoned to her care in front of her daycare center. Her matchmaking aunt Gertie promptly calls Jackson, the town's newly returned pediatrician, to make sure they are healthy.
Hannah and Jackson go way back--they'd been two thirds of a trio (with their pal Ethan), all the way through school. That friendship lasted until Hannah and Ethan's wedding day, when Jackson fled town after the ceremony and broke off all contact with them.
Jackson's recently returned to town after his father's passing. He'd never considered himself worthy of Hannah, and she's spent years wondering what she did to drive him away.
A pleasant enough read, if a bit trite and with the hero making some misguided assumptions. Hannah's a pretty straight shooter though, and that was pleasing to see.
A few plot elements were introduced which make it clear this is part of a series.
