That is, until the matchmaking townspeople started scheming to get the sassy redhead and their beloved sheriff together!
Clay couldn't get over the antics of the beautiful stranger who turned his once-orderly town upside down like the raging floodwaters that soon followed her. He knew the bigcity girl was all wrong for him, but he couldn't ignore the sparks that flew between them every time she was near. Would Hope and Clay be able to set aside their differences long enough to save the town–and each other–from disaster?
Dianne's love for the romance genre began ten years ago when her daughter gave her a well-read, dog-eared Harlequin. Her daughter said it was great, then confessed it had been passed around the entire eighth grade class as a "supplement" to their sex ed class. Some supplement! But Dianne was instantly hooked on Harlequins, and it wasn't long before she was writing stories of her own. She's finalled in several national contests, including RWA's Golden Heart. Her first Harlequin American, COURT-APPOINTED MARRIAGE, was released in August 2001. Dianne lives with her husband and four children in Ohio. She writes humorous, fast-paced, sexy stories set in small-town USA. Her stories focus on the zany things people do when falling madly in love. She's written articles for the Affaire de Coeur, Undercover and RT. She presently writes the Up Close and Personal: Editor Profile column for RWR. She's giving writing workshops at the Ohio Valley RWA Conference, Central Ohio Fiction Writer's Conference, West Virginia Book Fair and the Woman's Conference in Columbus, Ohio.
