HITCHED!

Lark Mallory was a runaway bride.
Jared Wolf was just the man to catch her!

When Lark realized Wesley Sherborn was the wrong man for her to marry, she ran away from her wedding. Somehow, she ended up sleeping in Jared Wolf's bed and, when he woke her from her nightmare, she realized that he had always been the man of her dreams.

Now she just had to convince Jared that, rather than running away from her future, she had been running back to him!

రచయిత పరిచయం

Ruth Jean Dale was born in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, the first of four children. She lived there for her first 12 years, at which point, her father went to work for a construction company building highways all over the U.S.A.Ruth Jean attended seven schools in three states during the seventh grade alone. By the time she graduated from high school, she’d also lived or attended school in South Dakota, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and New Jersey.Following college in Missouri (journalism major) and a stint in the U.S. Navy (where she met her husband, a U.S. Marine), she settled down to life as a wife and mother of four daughters in Illinois, California, and Texas. Eventually she went to work as a newspaper reporter; upon retirement from the Corps, her husband became a reporter for the same California daily.Just before Thanksgiving 1984, she was felled by a brain aneurysm which resulted in three brain surgeries, two weeks in a coma, four weeks in Intensive Care, and a recovery so complete that her surgeon called it a miracle. From this experience she learned, among other things, that a bad hair day is preferable to a no-hair day. Yes, her hair eventually did grow back.Ruth Jean sold her first romance novel to Silhouette on July 8, 1988, a day she’ll never forget. More sales followed and the next year she quit her day job as editor of two weekly newspapers to fulfil a lifelong dream of writing full-time.In the early ’90s, she and her husband moved from Southern California to a pine forest north of Colorado Springs, Colorado, where they live today with one dog and three cats. In addition to writing romance novels, she teaches occasional fiction classes and leads workshops on Writing Your Life Story. Along the way, she and fellow writer, Margaret Brownley of California, sold a two-year story projection to the CBS/Proctor & Gamble soap, As the World Turns. This, they’ve been told, is practically impossible to do.In her spare time, Ruth Jean can be found in her sewing and craft room. With sewing machine and serger, she turns out not only clothing but strange and exotic items such as embroidered toilet paper and photos printed on fabric, which she cheerfully foists off on to friends and acquaintances.
