To Katie With Love

Erica Lucke Dean

Katie James has a serious thing for romance novels. She’s perfectly happy settling for a character in a book rather than risking her heart on a flesh and blood man. Besides, the only real man she’s even remotely interested in is her very rich, very unattainable client, the mysterious Cooper Maxwell. But after Cooper crashes her little birthday soirée, looking less like the ultra-conservative man she knows and more like a drop-dead sexy character from one of her books, Katie finds herself in dangerous territory… Cooper’s bedroom!

It doesn’t take long for Katie to suspect Cooper is keeping secrets, dangerous ones. Unfortunately, when an overly flirtatious coworker sets her sights on Cooper, and Katie’s meddling mother decides to make a surprise visit, Katie has to juggle a whole new set of problems.

Who would have guessed having an assassin for a boyfriend would be the least of her worries?

Forever My Girl

I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after.

I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile.

And now I’m going back.

After ten years.

I hope I can explain that after all this time.

I still want her to be my forever girl

My grandma once told me that I can do anything I want, so I am.

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I now live in picturesque Vermont, with my husband and two daughters. Also renting space in our home is an overhyper Beagle/Jack Russell and two Parakeets.

During the day you’ll find me behind a desk talking about Land Use. At night, I’m writing one of the many stories I plan to release or sitting courtside during either daughter’s basketball games.

I’m also an active reviewer on The Readiacs.
