Cherise Johnson is tired of Minnesota’s relentless cold and the continuous stream of men who use and abuse her. Problem is, she’s played the man game for so long she can’t see the real thing, even when it hits her in the rear. Of her car, that is. William Keaton is looking for his hotel when his car crashes into hers during a blinding snow storm. Cherise is ready for a life change, and hopes the handsome Brit’s interest in her extends beyond the damage to her car.
But Will has managed to avoid a wedding ring on two previous occasions. He’s returned home from his final tour of duty in Afghanistan with a hand injury that has ended his surgical career. He’s not looking for love or sympathy. He needs someone to help him manage a small hospital back home in England and thinks Cherise might be perfect for the job.
Will may not think he’s ready for love, but Cherise is determined to prove there is truth in the old adage—the THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM.
Award Winning Author - Winner 2016 Beverly Hills Book Awards Romance Category
Growing up, I wrote a few things for school—reports and a few creative writing projects for English class—but never really thought about writing novels until after I married my David. Even then, what little writing I did leaned toward Mystery. I didn’t discover Romance until my husband and I traveled to Greece. It was hot—I mean really hot—and we ducked inside the Athens Hilton to bask in their air conditioned gift shop. I was looking at a rack of paperback books and picked up one entitled Born in Fire by someone named Sarah Hardesty. I stayed in our air-conditioned hotel room for two days reading that novel nearly non-stop and decided then and there what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I wanted to write Romance. It wasn’t until I was back home and hunting through a Barnes and Noble for more books by Sarah Hardesty that I learned the author was actually Nora Roberts, and I’d like to thank her for writing that book because reading it certainly turned my life around.
As Jayne Nichols, I write contemporary romance (Wish Fulfilled Series), single title and series romantic suspense (Madrona Point Series), and I love every minute of it—especially now that I can call myself an AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR. How exciting is that?
