Mattie Grayson-Avery returns home from her honeymoon ready to start fresh with her new husband, Dallas attorney, Trenton Avery. She’s excited about the future, about giving her five-year-old daughter a father figure, about building a future with Trenton. Everything is perfect, until her presumed-dead husband, Navy SEAL, Ford Grayson gives her the shock of her life.
THE ONLY WAY TO WIN…
A prisoner of war for five long years, Ford thought of nothing but Mattie and the child he’d never met. He’s ached for Mattie. Her sexy smile, her drown-in-me green eyes and lush curves haunted his dreams and offered him hope against the odds.
IS BY PLAYING DIRTY…
Ford isn’t above playing dirty to get what he wants and he wants his wife. But Trenton isn’t about to step aside without a fight. Caught in the middle, between the past and the present, Mattie faces her toughest choice yet—the memories of the past or the possibilities of the future.
Ever since I heard my first fairy tale, I've always believed in happily-ever-after and the power of love. In my opinion, there's nothing quite as heart-warming as the happy ending for a hero and heroine who overcome the odds. Sometimes love isn't easy, but then anything in life that is, well, it just isn't much fun, now is it?
Looking for challenges in my life has been part of that fun, too. I embraced my first challenge at the age of sixteen when I married my high school sweetheart. A whole lot of years later, I still fondly recall the first time I saw my own personal hero and knew, even at that tender age, that he was the one for me. With a history like that, what else could I write except Romances?
When I'm not working on my latest novel, I enjoy relaxing with a cross-stitch project or debating the pros and cons of a redecorating project. I'm also a big movie fan, especially romantic comedies. Oh, and we can't forget about the joys of gardening. If I'm not playing in the dirt or haven't escaped with my own personal hero to the movie theater, I can usually be found in the house, somewhere warm, curled up with a romance novel in my hands.
A few years ago, my family and I exchanged the sun and sand of my native Southern California for the clear blue skies and wide open spaces of the North Dakota prairie. Oh, did I mention the snow we got in the bargain, too? A whole lot of it?
