About the Author:

Lauren Bach spent most of her childhood visiting mythical, made-up places, a habit that carried into adulthood. Daydreams, night-visions — she views them as simply more fodder for the pen. She has a vivid, outrageous, imagination that she tries not to censor. She wrote her first story in third grade and hasn't set the pencil down since. While some of her work is composed at the computer, the majority of her writing is still done in longhand. She has a penchant for Shaeffer fountain pens, because they're made in her hometown of Fort Madison, Iowa, where her grandmother used to work. Lauren left Iowa when she was 12. She has since lived in Florida and Massachusetts. She currently resides in Durham, North Carolina, where she writes full time, plus a lot of overtime. Quite simply, she loves to write. Two of her favorite books on the subject of writing are classics: Writing the Natural Way by Gabriele Lusser Rico, and, Fiction is Folks by Robert Newton Peck. Lauren's favourite technique from Rico's book is "clustering", an exercise where you start with a nucleus word or idea, and expand out, making associations and connections. From Peck, she learned that "a novel's key element is characterization".

From Booklist:

Inspired by Montana's big night sky, Tess Marsh is so busy designing jewelry in her head, she doesn't realize that her car is running out of gas. A dangerously sexy biker shows up and claims her as his own when the rest of the biker gang appears. Dallas Haynes takes Tess to the unsavory outlaws' hideout, and she soon falls in love with him and surrenders her virginity. Then the FBI arrives, and his true identity is revealed: he's undercover agent Grey Thomas. Whisked away into protective custody to await the murder trial of two gang members, Tess discovers that she is pregnant. After nearly killing her in the courtroom, the bad guys escape, leading to an action-packed adventure. In spite of a near overload of the latest hip romance tropes--long-haired bad-boy biker, clean-shaven and well-dressed FBI agent, gorgeous jewelry designer with big breasts and rich parents, pregnancy, crime syndicates, and sizzling and explicit sex--Bach's tale is a real page-turner.
