Portia Tofton has always yearned for brooding Mateo Cardea. His dark good-looks filled her girlish dreams – dreams that were cruelly shattered when Mateo rejected her hand in marriage. Now Portia’s home has been gambled away, and Mateo is the only man she can turn to.
This time, however, she has in her possession something he wants – and she finds herself striking a deal with the devil himself!
Deb Marlowe grew up with her nose in a book. Luckily, she’d read enough romances to recognize the hero she met at a college Halloween party – even though he wore a tuxedo t-shirt instead of breeches and boots! They married, settled in North Carolina. Though she spends much of her time at her laptop, for the sake of her family, Deb does occasionally abandon her inner world for the adventures of laundry, dinner and carpool.
