“You are going to kiss me? In public?”
“There would be no reason to kiss you in private.”

About the author:
During a stint as a stay-at-home mom, Christine Merrill decided that it was time to "write that book." It would be a part-time job. She could set her own hours, and would never have to wear pantyhose to work.
How hard could it be?
Seasons changed, as did the century. Manuscripts piled up, along with rejections. But she slogged onward and seven years later, she got the thrill of seeing her first book hit the bookstores.
When not writing, Chris can be found at the movies, halfway back and towards the center, with a large buttered popcorn (but only if the film has a happy ending).
