Renovations 2: Playing House

by Dianne Fox

Ven is still working as Toby's main contractor, flipping houses, and this time around there's more than one project going on. Toby has someone else working on his Cinderella house, an old place that needs a lot of work, but when that contractor falls behind, Toby knows Ven is the man for the job. Ven is happy to help out with a house Toby loves so much, but he knows he might need more work to keep him and his family afloat. Another job offer makes things that much harder for Ven, because what he finds in Toby's arms may not be enough to pay the bills. Will the boys be able to work things out and keep on working together?

About the author

Dianne Fox has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. She began reading romance novels on a cross-country drive when she was 11 years old. Her great aunt had given her a box of books to get her through the trip and mixed in with the fantasy novels and the Sweet Valley Highs were a pile of Harlequin, Silhouette, Loveswept, and Zebra romances. She’s never looked back.

Dianne is also one half of the Anah Crow & Dianne Fox writing duo. They’ve been sharing a sandbox since 2003. Their only regret is that they didn’t meet many years ago when the amount of time they spend in their imaginary worlds would have been considered perfectly normal. Dianne organizes their shared toys and makes them pretty, Anah blows them up (or buries them or drowns them or drops meteors on them). Fortunately, their escapades have translated quite well into story format and together they have written a number of well-received novels and shorter pieces.

In other aspects of life they continue to illustrate the old adage that “opposites attract”. Dianne is owned by her cats, Anah is at the mercy of her dogs; Dianne can’t do without her beloved Macs, Anah carries on an illicit relationship with a trio of PCs behind her Mac’s back; Dianne spends her days chasing children, Anah avoids them whenever possible. The main thing they have in common, after their writing, is their fondness for each other.
