Jill Shalvis is the author of several popular series including the Lucky Harbor Series (It Had to Be You; Always on My Mind; Forever and a Day); the Animal Magnetism series (Rescue My Heart; Animal Attraction; Animal Magnetism), the Wilders series (Instant Attraction; Instant Temptation; Instant Gratification), and the Sky High series (Strong and Sexy; Superb and Sexy; Smart and Sexy). Her baseball-themed romances include Slow Heat and Double Play, and she also appears in anthologies such as He’s The One.
Mia Appleby is a fraud. Outwardly a successful ad exec and fashionista ice queen, she has never emotionally matured from the needy little girl raised in a Tennessee trailer park, and her favorite coping strategy is fast hot sex without commitment. Thus, when Kevin McKnight captures her attention with his bad-boy biker attire and attitude, she enjoys one night with him, then astounds him by walking away. Work-related stresses, combined with the challenges she faces when her rebellious, goth-attired, 16-year-old niece arrives for a visit, push her back into Kevin's arms repeatedly and often until Kevin insists that he deserves more and Mia is struck with the realization that her wonderful new life is empty of any real satisfaction. Set in the Los Angeles hills, Shalvis'contemporary romance contrasts the two very different roads traveled by two people with similar histories: Mia embraces materialism, while Kevin, a high-school teacher, tries to improve the lives of others at the expense of his own.
