A seemingly strong, independent woman, Chantal Goodwin had always had an unsuspected weakness, a secret hunger, for one breathtaking man - and now that man was back in town.
The merest glance from Cameron Quade still made her ache like the lovesick schoolgirl she'd once been. But Chantal was a woman now, a woman who could take what she wanted - and what she wanted was a single shattering night of passion with this man.
Though their encounter shook her to the core, she told herself she could still watch him walk away forever. But that was before she learned about the new life their night of passion had created.
Bestselling and award-winning author Bronwyn Jameson grew up on an Australian farm where she developed a lifelong love of animals and the written word. Happily she was able to marry the two working as a rural journalist before a magazine article introduced her to Romance Writers of Australia and the possibility of a new career writing the books she loved to read.
After five years, a handful of contest wins and an equal number of rejections from Harlequin Mills & Boon, Bronwyn received the phone call all aspiring novelists dream of: Leslie Wainger at Silhouette Books wanted to buy the manuscript she'd judged in the Romance Writers of New Zealand Clendon Award.
Silhouette Desire published In Bed With The Boss's Daughter in July 2001. Since then Bronwyn has continued to write take-to-bed romance for Desire, winning contests such as The Aspen Gold, The Write Touch Readers' Award and the Anne Bonney Readers' Choice. In 2006 she was a triple RITA finalist with her Princes of the Outback trilogy and a nominee for the Romantic Times Series Storyteller of the Year.
As well as strong Australian heroes and spirited heroines, her stories feature all kinds of animals including an energetic Border Collie named Mac, a jet black racehorse named Stella, an attack cat named Gizmo, a talking pony nicknamed Mini Ed, a bitzer named Digger, a Russian Blue named Tolstoy…well, you get the picture.
She still loves animals and the written word. Her home is still a farm in the Australian heartland, which she shares with her husband and three sons, a thousand sheep, half a dozen horses, three dogs, an echidna and a wallaby.
This is Book #2 of Goodwin Siblings. This is the story of Chantal and Quade. Chantal is a strong and independent woman. She is a lawyer who has always had a crush on Quade. Now he is back in town, and she still feels like the lovesick schoolgirl from before. Chantal is now a grown woman, and she wants a passion filled night with the man who captured her attention long ago. Quade is back in town after problems with his job and his (ex)fiance. He isn't looking for any complications or anything to do with a relationship. His ex being a lawyer doesn't help matters between Chantal and Quade. He is done with "that type" of woman. He doesn't realize that Chantal is nothing like his ex, except in the type of career she has chosen. They have a night of passion that shakes Chantal to her very center. Quade has a secret or two of his own that are brought about when the feelings he has for Chantal become more than what he expected. I love the chemistry between Quade and Chantal. Once they share their feelings, as well as themselves, things really heat up.
