A romantic game of chicken-and they're both too stubborn to flinch. Lucy Fairchild, lawyer and heiress to the Fairchild fortune, has just had the worst day of her life. Her father has found the perfect man for her to marry. Yes, she's thirty and single, but that doesn't give her father the right to run her life. She'll choose her own husband-someday. Jake Dalton is struggling to make his fledgling construction company a success. Ever mindful of his father's derogatory comments that he'd never amount to anything, he's spent his entire life trying to prove he's not a failure. From their first meeting on a construction site, verbal sparks fly. Their argument escalates into a dare for a date-and the game is on. Lucy thinks Jake is the perfect fake boyfriend to parade around in the hopes of getting her father off her back. Jake is amused by the chance to annoy both Lucy and her dad-he doesn't intend to take the dating thing seriously. But the heart is a fickle thing, and not above playing dirty. In their quest to prove something-to each other, or maybe to themselves-they find themselves building a case.for love. And suddenly all the rules have changed.

After spending too many years to count in the high stress business world, I'm thrilled to be living my dream of writing passionate romance. Now I get to write in my pajamas while surrounded by yipping little dogs that I adore but who drive me crazy. I'd like to say I lead a glamorous life, but it's all too normal. I still have to do laundry, dishes and feed my family, but wouldn't have it any other way - okay, admittedly, servants would be nice...hehehe I live in Oklahoma with my husband, Charlie, who inspires me to create stories about sexy, stubborn alpha males who don't always do what the heroine wants them to. I have a teenaged stepdaughter who is my shopping buddy extraordinaire, and two grown sons who live on the west coast that I miss terribly but fortunately get to see when time and air travel permits. I am a multi published author who writes in many genres. I write for Bantam Dell, Berkley, Ellora's Cave and Samhain Publishing. I have been fortunate to win several awards, including the Romantic Times BookReview Magazine's Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Erotic Paranormal. I am a member of Romance Writers of America, Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal's RWA Chapter, Passionate Ink and Romance Writer's Ink.
