Kooky Becky Ryan owes Deputy Nate Dalton, big time. He gallantly overlooked one of her rather innocent, but harum-scarum infractions, when he could have easily hauled her right off to jail. So, when Nate comes knocking on her door, she readily agrees to help him care for his infant niece…and play the role of his fake fiancée. Stoic Nate is clueless when it comes to babies and he’s grateful for Becky’s assistance, but the two of them mix like oil and water. Yet the longer the solemn lawman is around this fun-loving gal, the more Nate finds himself longing to propose a more permanent arrangement…

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.
