Thank you also to my writing buddies, Lenora Bell and Christy Carlyle, both of whom helped me brainstorm through rough spots and who read sections of early versions of this book.
I cannot fail to mention how thoroughly and unconditionally my husband and children, my parents, my sister, and my in-laws support me as a writer and a working mom.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
USA Today bestselling author CHARIS MICHAELS believes a romance novel is a very long, exciting answer to the question “So, how did you two meet?” It’s a question she loves to answer again and again with different characters, each time she writes a book. Prior to writing romance, she studied journalism at Texas A&M and managed PR for a trade association. She also has worked as a tour guide at Disney World, harvested peaches on her family’s farm, and entertained children as the “Story Godmother” at birthday parties. She has lived in Texas, Florida, and London, England. She now makes her home in the Washington, DC, metro area.

Dear Reader,
I hope you liked the latest romance from Avon Impulse! If you’re looking for another steamy, fun, emotional read, be sure to check out some of our upcoming titles.
We have a delightful, charming debut novel from new author Marie Tremayne! LADY IN WAITING features a runaway bride who takes a position as a maid in a lord’s household. He’s incredibly tempted by his new servant, but he knows they can never be together due to class differences . . . or can they? You don’t want to miss this fantastic first book in Marie’s Reluctant Brides trilogy!
Sports romance fans—get excited! Lia Riley has another sexy new Hellions Angels hockey novel coming. In VIRGIN TERRITORY, Patrick “Patch” Donnelly gives up his plan to become a priest in order to pursue a professional hockey career. When a beautiful yoga instructor crosses his path, Patch is intrigued. But before he can give into temptation, he’ll have to confess his biggest secret . . . he’s a virgin. You know you want to one-click the holy goalie immediately!
