Chance of a Lifetime (Anderson Brothers) (17 page)

Acknowledgments

Writing the Anderson Brothers series has been a delight, primarily because of the hard work, love, and brilliance of Liz Pelletier and all the folks at Entangled Publishing.

Getting these books to the readers is a team sport and I have a great team! Heartfelt gratitude to Candace Havens, Robin Haseltine, Heather Howland, Jessica Turner, Crystal Havens, and the entire Lovestruck and EP team.

A great deal of the boots-on-the-ground promo and pick-me-up encouragement came from members of my amazing Facebook group, Camp Clarke. Special thanks to Angela Bailey, Nicole Counts, Carolyn Downes, Connee Edstrom, Lucero Guerrero, Angela Guilherme, Bette Hansen, Evelin Hustis, Chris Jones, Angela Kinney, Elois Lloyd, Kim Matlock, Virginia Mayer, Bube Petreska, Yazmin Rangel, Danielle Salley, Christine Karper-Smith, and Tiffani Storck for beta reading, proofing, and/or throwing ideas around with me.

I could not have made it through the end of the first draft without Shawna Stringer and Deanna Lynn. Love beyond words, ladies.

And big hugs and love to Sophie Jordan, Nicole Flockton, Lily Dalton, Patrick McDonald, and Lynn Lorenz for the brainstorming and kicks in the backside.

Thank you Laine, Hannah, Emily, and Robert. Look up “love” in the dictionary, and there’s a picture of you.

Last, but always first, thank you to all the readers who have fallen in love with the Anderson brothers right along with me.

About the Author

lives in Texas, where everything is bigger, especially the mosquitoes.

When not writing or reading, she wrangles her rowdy pack of three teens, husband, and a Cairn Terrier named Annabel who rules the house (and Marissa’s heart) with an iron paw. If you love young adult fiction, be sure to check out Marissa’s alter ego, Mary Lindsey!

Sleeping with the Boss

Claire Maddox is off to see the world, but first, she needs quick cash. A temp job at Anderson Auctions seems perfect, especially with the unexpected benefit of the hottest man she’s ever laid eyes—or hands—on. William Anderson’s military training makes him the perfect man to flush out the spy undercutting his family business, but no amount of time in the Marines could prepare him for the suspicious—and sexy—new temp. Desire lands them in bed…but duty may cost him his heart.

To keep them off her back, she makes up the perfect pretend boyfriend—successful, important, and most of all, permanently located in New York. Logan Ridley heard a lot about the infamous Tessa, but she’s even better than he imagined. Except, she seems to hate everything about the small town he’s growing to love. If they have any hope of a future together, he’ll have to convince her that everything she wants has been in Cutter’s Creek all along.

so
many shades of Mr. Wrong. As Gracie’s discouragement grows, Des realizes it’s time to show Gracie what she really needs in a man. He’ll teach Gracie the Rules According To Des—even if it means breaking
his
one rule in the process.
