FAMILY WANTED Applicant's Boone Shelton Position Father to adorable kids, Bethany and Brad Thomas, and husband to their mother, Nixie. Graduate of the School of Hard Knocks. I’ve been a kid for thirty-three years, so I’d have no trouble relating to Bethany and Brad. As Scout master and den leader, I’ve learned to give children the kind of firm and loving attention I wanted when I was young. In addition, I’ve had lots of practice with love … I’ve been in love with Nixie since I was nine years old. Special I can lift four small children with one arm, teach Brad any sport he wants to play, help Bethany laugh the blues away, and show the kids how to make fake boogers out of rubber cement. I’m a big man and, in my case, the old saying “The bigger they are the harder they fall” couldn’t be more true. Nixie and her whole family have stolen my heart … now all I want is for them to take the rest of me.

Lori Wilde can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to write. She even went to nursing school so she could have a schedule flexible enough to allow her to write on the side. She nursed for 20 years, working in a variety of settings from the newborn nursery to the recovery room, to dialysis. But she never lost her desire to write. She sold her first book in 1994 to Silhouette Romance but later discovered she had a flair for comedy and branched out to Harlequin Duets and now, to Blaze. Lori is an adventuresome soul who loves to travel. She’s taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone. She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill.
