About this title

From the Author:

Dear Reader,

I love all the characters that I write, but there are a few who find a special place in my heart. Firefighter Charlie Dixon is one of those special few. I adore Charlie. Her crabbiness makes me laugh, and her big, generous, vulnerable heart makes me want to be her friend. I don't know if I've ever been happier to write a happily ever after.

Charlie is determined to get over her painful past so that she can move toward the bright future her best friends Annabelle and Heidi found earlier this summer. (See Summer Days and Summer Nights.) Could Clay Stryker, of all people, be the man to help her heal? Clay made his fortune as an underwear model and a Hollywood butt double. He could very well be the most handsome man in the world. By all rights, this small town firefighter should be wildly intimidated by the man's classic good looks. And yet... Charlie just might be the only woman in the world more dazzled by Clay's heart than by his world-famous... assets. Can she trust Clay enough to approach him with an indecent proposal?
