Megan Roarke had a secret crush on Gage Richmond—but what woman didn't? The gorgeous heir apparent to his family's pharmaceutical company was also a legendary playboy. So why had her boss selected his plain-Jane employee to be his temporary fiancée?
It was only supposed to last six months—so Gage could win a coveted promotion. But once his sweet, shy employee accepted his offer—on the condition he accompany her to her high school reunion—everything changed. Falling for Megan was the easy part. Now if Gage could just convince her that they were ready for the next step—that fateful walk down the aisle…
According to her mother, she fell in love with books even before she could read and was always content when she had a book in her hands. It didn’t surprise anyone when she decided that she wanted to be a writer, but she was encouraged to pursue “a real job” first.
So she did—she became a lawyer. Two years of practicing law taught her a lot about the world—and reinforced her determination to become a writer. Because in fiction, she could promise a happy ending!
Thankfully, she had already met and married a wonderful man to inspire her fictional heroes. And when she was on maternity leave after the birth of their first son, he encouraged her to take a romance writing course at the local community college. It was while enrolled in this class that she completed her first (still unpublished) manuscript.
Three more manuscripts and another baby followed. And then, in June 2002, she finally got the call from Susan Litman—an editorial assistant and contest judge—offering to buy the manuscript she’d submitted to RWA’s Golden Heart® contest as “From This Moment.” This story was re-titled McIver’s Mission and released by Silhouette Intimate Moments in May 2003.
This was a very light cute romance. Okay, one pretty heavy sex scene was in it but that was all. This is the start of a new series called Brides & Babies. Book number two is out this month (April 2010) and it is called The Pregnancy Plan.
