Winter Lady
When American heartthrob Devlin Paige set out for Minnesota's desolate northern hills, the last thing he wanted was company. But when he rescued beautiful Raine Mrogan from the treacherous icy water, Devlin couldn't deny the desire that intensified with every moment. Yet even the seclusion of his mountain cabin could not deter the media, and they soon became front-page news. Raine tried to escape her reckless passion for this unobtainable man, but Devlin was determined to melt his winter lady...with a fire of love.

Janet Bieber, Joyce Thies
From the Richard Gallen edition of Conquer the Memories:
Janet Joyce is two Ohio housewives who have combined their first names and talents to form a writing partnership. They were introduced by a mutual friend who knew that Joyce wrote fast-moving stories about naked people in vague places, while Janet wrote of exquisitely dressed people locked in detailed times and places. The friend thought they would do better together.
Janet, a born Buckeye, lives with her optometrist husband and three children. She holds a degree in education from Ohio State University, loves history and is active in Girl Scouting. Joyce, a Minnesota native, recently moved to Ohio from New York. She majored in English at the University of Minnesota and lives with her architect husband and two children. Both women married dedicated professionals and, since the start of their writing partnership, have discovered that workaholism is a family trait they all share.
Their combined children, two boys and three girls ranging in ages from seven to twelve, have taken over as cooks, housekeepers, baby-sitters and advisors during the times when Janet and Joyce work on their manuscripts. Their two husbands share such similar attitudes and habits that Janet and Joyce have often speculated that they are married to one man who has devised an ingenious disguise.
Although many partnerships might falter because of personality conflicts, Janet and Joyce realized early that they were both too cowardly for confrontation. They appreciate each other's abilities and have formed a mutual support society, recognizing that each complements the other. Conquer the Memories is their first novel, and they are currently completing another.

I first read this book when I was in high school and held on to it because the guy on the cover reminded me of someone. Why oh why did I hold on to it for so long? It's '80s terrible. Couple meets when he saves her life, they fight a bunch, have two nice moments together, have sex, she misunderstands something she overhears, hates him but doesn't talk to him, there's a little sexual violence, finally they clear up the misunderstandings and immediately get engaged. I don't consider any of this spoilers because it was kinda the formula. The book had already made its way to the Goodwill.

Or, as this thread is being called, "Brad's mom #5".
Very well written, slightly more contemporary piece.
These are such great escape reads!
