Love Game

Tables Turn When a Worldly Lover Entices a Young, Widowed Mother in Love Game, a Sensual Romance by Mallory Rush

Young widow Chris Nicholson is determined to never love again, but her little girl, Audrey, longs fo a daddy. Then old flame Greg Reynolds, who broke Chris's heart in high school, shows up on Christmas Eve, and old feelings rush in.

Greg Reynolds, now a twice-divorced Marine Major, is far from "daddy material", but a quick and memorable holiday love affair is more than enticing. In a few weeks, he'll return to The Pentagon, and she'll go searching for The Great American Daddy.

The tables turn when intimate love games reveal layers of deep desire neither knew were possible.

But Greg knows he is not the type of man Chris needs, yet he can't stop his heart from aching for her and the family she possesses, and Chris plans to take her "Daddy Search" back to her hometown, along with a secret growing inside of her.

Love Game

Her own life story goes something like this: Nearly destitute, divorced young mother of four, working two jobs, loses her house-but keeps typing away into the wee hours, determined to see her love stories in print. Enter a really hot, single guy riding a Harley (er, Suzuki) and building corporate empires (as a CFO for a manufacturing plant in Lubbock, Texas). One kiss and KA-POW! It was like you read about. He asked her (and all those kids) to marry him and bought them a house as a wedding present. A year later they had a miracle baby. A few years after that, Bad Boy of New Orleans hit the bookstore shelves. Many other novels would follow, and corporate moves would take them to Tallahassee, Memphis, Boulder, and finally to Fox Lake, Wisconsin, where they've renovated a big historic tavern. A lot of people thought it wouldn't last, but 30 years later they're still really into each other.

Little wonder that Mallory believes in the transcendent power of love and its ability to elevate all of our lives from the ordinary to something mystical and amazing. Although she's written and edited historical thrillers and non-fiction as Olivia Rupprecht, she considers romance to be more than a genre-it's as essential as breathing for a truly rich life. Mallory loves to hear from her readers.
