Can a weekend seduction in a secluded cabin change friends into lovers? Being friends with Lacy Durant has never been enough for Clint Merrick, but he values their friendship. A landmark birthday sets him thinking about his priorities and he decides to put Lacy at the top of his list. Over the years, the timing has never been right but he’s always felt more for his pal. If he declares himself and she doesn’t share his feelings, then he can finally move on with his life. A simple dance turns sexy and opens Lacy’s eyes to what has been lying behind Clint’s friendship all these years. Her lawyer boyfriend ends their relationship when he hears about that revelatory dance, and Lacy is ready to give up on men. When Clint kidnaps her, she’s furious. She can’t just disappear—she has a café to run and a mother to keep an eye on. Clint has arranged the weekend to cater to her every wish…especially those that heat up the cabin and threaten to melt the snow off the roof...

The combination of years spent working with words in the secretarial field and a love of reading romances sparked Layla’s initial urge to write. Add to that the experience of reaching a landmark birthday, and you might say a mid-life crisis was born. Relocating from her native California to Texas in 2000 provided more time to focus on the craft. A direct challenge form a critique partner turned Layla’s writing toward the sensual side and she hasn’t looked back since. Writing erotic romance allows her to spread her creative wings and let her imagination take off. Multi-published in historical, paranormal and contemporary, Layla’s sexy stories are mixed with a bit of humor or a tug of emotion, but always have a happy ending. Layla lives in south Texas with her engineer husband and teenage daughter. Her other three children are scattered up and down California and having adventures of their own. When not writing or plotting her next story, she spends time reading, watching movies and traveling (so many possible locales for the next adventure).
