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.

August 21, 2014
Looking for a kidnapped girl brings together Police Detective Dax Cavanaugh and Brenda York.
Brenda is this little girl's teacher who loves her and adores this baby very much and the thought of not knowing what may be happening to her is too much for Brenda and fuels her resolve to help find her back.
Though first suspicious of her, Dax lets Brenda help out initially in the investigation but soon realizes that there is no stopping this woman. That if he won't oblige her and take her under his wing for this investigation she eould go out on her own and most probably end up dead.
During the investigation these two find out that they are on the same wavelength all the time and do not require the other to voice out what they needed done because the other could very easily anticipate it and do it already.
The big surprise / shock / bomb for Dax to cope with is that Brenda is expecting her late husband's baby and while all the time together she witholds the information to which he comes by by accident. Disgruntled for a little time, he still wants this woman in his life too much and loves her baby as if it were his own even before the baby is born.
Thus another happily ever after, baby and all.
