Please see: Patricia Hagan
Pat is the published author of over forty books of romantic fiction. Several of her titles have appeared on the New York Times Bestseller list. One of her books, "Ocean of Dreams", is based on her own shipboard romance when she met her former husband, a Norwegian engineer.
She is also a former Radio/TV Motorsports Journalist, covering NASCAR Grand National Stock Car Racing. Her work has won many awards by the National Motorsports Press Association.
Pat has cruised the eastern and western Caribbean extensively, as well as the Greek Islands, the fjords of Norway all the way to the North Cape, and has made several transatlantic crossings.
She prefers traveling single, because it gives her more opportunities to meet and make new friends. While she admits going solo is not for everyone, she says for her it is perfect, because she is an outgoing person, and, being a writer, enjoys meeting new "characters."
The only thing she does not like about traveling is having to leave behind her best friend and companion, Krysy, a 14-year old Wire-haired fox terrier.

Sam Rutledge needed a wife to claim his dead lover's baby from the great grandma. Lauren Gentry wanted a change from her dental job. She pretends to be his wife and falls in love with him. He likewise falls but neither will admit until after a month plus with grandma and baby Jamie. Ok.

Relacionamento inteiramente baseado em mentiras.
Teria sido uma leitura interessante se puxasse para o humor ou outro gênero, como romance de banca deixou a ver navios.
