This isn't one of those stories where I was always in love with my brother's best friend, and he'd spent years crushing on me.
Furthest thing from it, really.
I like Braden Murphy well enough. He's a nice guy, and the football's team star running back.
That's why I asked him to help me get the attention of a real life prince charming.
Prince Stefan Lundin is a senior at Kinston college.
Rumor has it he's looking for his princess.
I'm a pretty down to earth girl inside, which means I need to up my game.
Basically, pretend to be everything I'm not.
Braden reluctantly agrees, and then something crazy happens.
I realize I've been chasing the wrong prince this whole time.
Too bad I've became nothing but a lie.
Everything Braden hated. Everything I hated.
Here I was selling myself to the wrong guy, but now I'm worried the one I really want is no longer buying.

I've been reading romance novels for as long as I can remember. I just never thought I'd be writing them. In fact, I graduated from university with a business degree and started working in the Finance Department of Environment Canada...shiver. A few years into my career, my hubby, who's a meteorologist, got posted up north, population 800. I quit my job and went with him. At first all the spare time was great, then I got bored so I started to read. Day and night. When I ran out of books to read I decided to try writing one. After all, how hard could it be. Ha!! Well, you guessed it. It was hard!
Many years later I discovered Romance Writers of America and have learned a great deal since joining my local chapter. My journey to publication hasn't been smooth sailing, but with the support and guidance from the wonderful writers at RWAC, it's been a lot easier. And a lot more fun!
I'm very fortunate to have a husband and two children who have been supportive in every possible way. On those frustrating days when I'm banging my head against my desk I look up to see a heart shaped sticky note on my computer that says I love you because you naver give up.
