Synopsis

You Don't Have to Stay Single! When Megan Padget's children give her a self-help guide to getting married for her birthday, she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. After sixty-three unsuccessful dates, staying single is sounding pretty good — until she meets Thomas Steele. How to Marry the Woman of Your Dreams! One divorce later, Tom Steele has no interest in the advice book from his well-intentioned brother and sister-in-law. He doesn't want to get married and he hasn't even found the woman of his dreams yet . . . until he meets Megan Padget. Now two people who were ready to throw the book at love are about to discover that a little learning is a dangerous thing . . . almost as dangerous as falling in love.

About this title

About the Author

Joan Johnston is the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of 56 novels and novellas with more than 15 million copies of her books in print. Her adventures traveling the world as an Air Force brat--encountering a cobra on the back porch and letting a baby octopus crawl on her hand in the Philippines, getting her teeth straightened by a Danish dentist in Casablanca, watching a camel get slaughtered at the souk, actually going to a "Casbah" and learning to ride on an Arabian stallion—made her curious about the world and gave her a love of travel. That rich upbringing--as one of seven kids--gave her the material to become the writer she is today. Joan earned a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Florida, an M.A. in Theater from the University of Illinois and a J.D. with honors from the University of Texas School of Law in Austin. Joan has an eclectic background and has worked as a director of theatre, drama critic, newspaper editor, college professor (at Barry University and the University of Miami) and attorney (with Hunton & Williams in Richmond, Virginia, and Squire, Sanders & Dempsey in Miami, Florida) on her way to becoming a full-time writer. She has also raised two really great kids. She currently has a three-book contract with Random House (Ballantine Bantam Dell).
