TAYLOR—He Was Hot Stuff in the Kitchen—and He Spiced Up Her Nights.... He was Hollywood handsome with a playboy's reputation to match—not at all the kind of partner Annie Malone had hoped for in cooking class—but she was stuck working with Taylor McQuaid on a recipe for the charity cookoff. So what if his touch made her tingle, and he adored her fettucine—how could she trust this charming bachelor? A Recipe for Romance Enchanted by her heart-shaped face and her mysterious sweetness, Taylor fought his way through Annie's defenses with tender passion, determined to show his cautious lady that he was no unreliable hotshot but his own man. Once he taught her that promises could last, would she believe he'd cherish her all the days of her life?

Lori Copeland was born on 12 June 1941. She had a relatively late start in writing, breaking into publishing in 1982 when she was already forty years old. Over the next dozen years, her romance novels achieved much success, as was evidenced by her winning the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, The Holt Medallion, and Walden Books' Best Seller award. She has been inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame. Despite her success in more mainstream romantic fiction, in 1995, she decided to switch focus. Her subsequent books have been in the relatively new subgenre of Christian romance. She has also collaborated with authors Angela Elwell Hunt or Virginia Smith on a series of Christian romance novels.
