About the author

Annette Broadrick was born on November 26. Her mother read to her until she read to herself. From that time on, books became her closest companions and teachers. She was an only child until the middle of her 16th year when her sister was born.

She married immediately after high school graduation in the middle of her 18th year. Twelve months later she had her first son. She ended up having four sons in seven years. People with children do not need to explain what their life was like for the next 20 years. Those people without children do not want to hear about it. Early on, she became a secretary to supplement the family income. Eventually she became a legal secretary and for 25 years she worked for attorneys in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon.

Her love of books followed her throughout her career as a mother and a secretary. By the time her youngest son graduated from high school she decided to write a book of her own. After writing in a spiral notebook for six months, she rented a typewriter and rewrote the book, showed it to a creative writing teacher, who was also a friend, listened to her critique and rewrote her story. Next she showed it to another avid romance reader and carefully listened to her critique. She rewrote her story once again. Next she mailed the manuscript to the Silhouette office in New York. Two months later she received a phone call asking if she'd be willing to do extensive revisions, including cutting one hundred pages. She said yes. This was in January 1984. By the time the book, Circumstantial Evidence, came out in November of that year, she had sold a total of six books.

Since October 1984 Annette has supported herself with her writing. Her career as a published author has also supported her reading habit and in the past five years she has managed to establish a quiet life in the Hill Country of central Texas that soothes as well as stimulates her. She hopes to continue writing the kind of books that readers enjoy.

This book was amazing until they got married. I loved the fact that they had to get married because they got caught but he really was cold towards her and I could only say that it was over kill. I mean yes you did not have sex with her but you still had been in her bed. She tried to make things right but he kept blaming her for everything!! Omg it was sad that she kept taking it until the very end then she goes home. It was not as good as the first but it was an ok read and there was some drama. Not bad just not as good as the first one.

Jared is one charming man, who piles on the charm when he meets beautiful Lindsey at a family barbecue. But Lindsey is one smart cookie and makes him work for that first date. They both are attracted to each other and like each other but they play it safe as nothing can come of it.

Someone else wants them to become a couple and hatches a plan to bring them together by foul means.....they will have to dig deep to trust each other.

Well written, good characters, and a wonderful setting in Texas.

I know, I know... I shouldn't, but my Sony Reader battery was down, and I didn't have time to charge it, and I needed something to read on the bus ... so I'm reading it,
and doesn't look like I will have a will to stop before end.
I did not, and of course I'm blaming myself for wasting time.
