I've always been an incurable romantic. While I enjoy reading all types of fiction, my favorites, the books that touch my soul, are romance novels. From sexy to thrilling, sweet to humorous, I like them all. But what I really love is writing romance--the hotter the better!
I started my first novel back in high school and have been writing ever since. To date, I've published over thirty novels, one of them a prestigious RITA Award nominee, Romance Writers of America's highest award of excellence. I have also been nominated by Romantic Times magazine for several Reviewer's Choice awards, as well as a career achievement award.
I've written for several different publishers, including Harlequin Books, Leisure Books, Berkley/Jove, St. Martin's Press and Warner Books. Born and bred in the Lone Start State, I still live deep in the heart with my real-life hero, Curt, and our young children.
Like any over-worked, under-appreciated wife and mother, I have very little free time. But when I find a few precious moments, I LOVE to read. Some of my favorite authors include Janet Evanovich, Vicki Lewis Thompson, Charlaine Harris (see my Favorite Reads page for more) and the exceptionally talented Nina Bangs. Give me a bag of Sugar Babies, a Toby Keith or Kevin Fowler CD (I love Texas music), and a great book, and I'm in heaven!
Paige Cassidy is on a major self-improvement kick. Divorced from a man who swore she could do nothing right, Paige is making it her business to learn how to be a woman... in every sense. And sexy, restless Jack Mission is just the man to give her a few lessons in love....
...BUT SHE WAS A PLEASURE TO TEACH!
Texas bad boy Jack Mission is tired of being a drifter. He's ready to find a good woman and settle down. And beautiful Paige Cassidy is definitely good - in bed and out. But Paige only considers their erotic interludes "research". She's not looking for a commitment. And it's up to Jack to convince her that she's already all woman - his woman!
