Gabe Daniels was everything Jenny Tyler despised — profane and entirely too male — while Jenny was Gabe’s least favorite type of woman — prim, with a way of speaking that grated on his nerves. But Jenny discovered the body of a man whose secrets Gabe wanted. Jenny had secrets, too, family secrets that made it necessary for Gabe to protect her. 2004 National Readers’ Choice Award winner, Romantic Suspense; originally published by Five Star
Justine "Tina" Wittich has written "something" ever since she learned to scribble letters. Journalism sounded good, so she got her degree in journalism, but then she worked in radio, and liked writing radio copy better. But then she got married and they moved all the time, and about the time they settled she had children and a traveling husband and there were swimming classes (Tina taught the synchronized swim group) and tennis lessons and all that good stuff. She worked as a secretary, but soon took over editorship of a regional magazine, where she realized what she'd always suspected fiction is much more fun to write than fact. To support her unpublished writing habit, she freelanced public relations, and helped business college students look for jobs, after first teaching them professional development.
