The Holiday Inn

A native of Chicago’s Southside, Phyllis Bourne began her writing career as a crime reporter for the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. After years of chasing cops and criminals, she left reporting to write about life’s sweeter side. Nowadays her stories are filled with heart-stopping heroes and happy endings. Phyllis is a 2001 and 2005 RWA Golden Heart finalist. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found at a make-up counter feeding her lipstick addiction. Phyllis currently resides in middle-Tennessee. This was her second title with Dorchester, following Operation Prince Charming.

Stefanie Worth is a former radio and television anchor, award-winning newspaper editor, and national freelance writer. As soon as she put fingers to keyboard to crank out her first story, she realized normalcy doesn't fit into her plots. Contemporary, yes. Passionate, moreso. But she loves to toss in twists and turns that whisk you from ordinary to otherworldy, from "what if" to "why not?" Originally from St. Louis, she now lives in Michigan with her kids - who accept the characters she spins as part of the family. Her other works include Where Souls Collide and "Heavensent.com" in the Holiday Brides anthology.
