WHO WAS SHE?

Private detective Angus MacDougall was used to finding missing persons. But the woman standing before him was a completely different story. She had absolutely no idea who she was.

From the first, he wanted her. But he knew that the delicate mystery woman wouldn't remain unclaimed for long. Some lucky man would come for her, and Angus would lose her forever. He couldn't let his young daughter start calling her "Mommy." Yet how could he resist this precious lost lady when she'd already claimed both their hearts?

Happily ever after…with kids!

Marie Rydzynski-Ferrarella
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.

This was a very average amnesia story. Heroine loses her memory and walks into the hero's office because she has his card on him. The hero takes her in to his house and soon she is playing house with him and his daughter. Of course she is in danger from an unknown source what caused her to lose her memories.

I enjoyed this books so much! Even though the plot's basically predictable, I liked it. I love how gentle Angus is. I guess maybe because he's a dad. That's why he has this sweet tenderness in him.

Overall I liked this book and I look forward to read more from this author! ❤

1990s Still Got Game

I’m not sure how I found this book, but it’s a great read, the price I paid was exceptional! All the new books are now up as high as 9.99, and not near as good.
