  Dear Reader,
  
  I’ve been a romance reader nearly all my life. I discovered the joys of these
  fabulous books when I was about thirteen and “borrowed” a Harlequin Presents
  from my best friend’s mother. I couldn’t help myself. She left a stack of them
  in the family room, and they started calling my name. Who could ignore that?
  
  After college, I turned my love of reading romances into a love of writing
  romances. My most popular series to date is set in the town of Fool’s Gold,
  California. Fool’s Gold is a tourist favorite, nestled in the beautiful
  foothills of the Sierra Nevada. There are festivals and friendly neighbors and
  California’s longest-serving mayor.
  
  For the past several years, I’ve set a new trilogy in Fool’s Gold each summer.
  There are also bonus e-reads, like this one, and sometimes a Christmas story.
  
  This year bodyguards are coming to Fool’s Gold. And who doesn’t love
