Om den här e-boken

It's forbidden love at first sight in the third novel of the reader-favourite Moorehouse Legacy series from New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward, writing as Jessica Bird. Originally published as Me Without You.

It's bad enough that Alex Moorehouse has always yearned for his best friend's wife, Cassandra Cutler. When a boating accident makes her a widow, the grief - and the guilt - threaten to sink him. But his self-imposed reclusiveness is about to be destroyed by the arrival of the last person in the world he ever wants to lay eyes on again. As Alex and Cassandra reluctantly work together to rebuild his family's bed-and-breakfast, and his anguished heart in the process, will their growing bond be strong enough to survive both of their secrets?

Om författaren

Jessica Bird read her first Harlequin Presents novel in a rose garden when she was in her teens. She was hooked immediately. By the time she went to college, she had boxes and boxes of Harlequins and Silhouettes. Every year, her mother would ask why all those books had to live in the house and Jess would reply that if even one of them disappeared she would know. (She'd catalogued them.)Jess finished her first romance manuscript the summer before her freshman year of college. 10 years later, and while working as a lawyer in Boston, she completed two more and started a number of partials. Both her mother and her husband kept telling her to send something in to an agent, a publisher, the Tooth Fairy, anyone. She thought they were nuts, but eventually got her nerve up and bought a lot of stamps. Since getting published, Jess has written Special Editions books, as well as single title contemporaries and paranormals. She has been a Rita Award finalist, received two Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice nominations and has been a HOLT medallion finalist.New England born and bred, Jess is surprised to find herself living south of the Mason Dixon line. (But that's what happens when you marry a Southern gentleman.) She and her husband live with their golden retriever, who oversees Jess's writing in a supervisory role. Email Jess at [e-mail].
