An alternate cover edition can be found here and here. She’s made him an offer he can’t refuse – or can he? Cody Mitchell has been planning a hot little love affair with his best friend’s widow – the woman he’s wanted for three long years. But he finds Melanie’s acceptance comes with outrageous conditions. She considers him a stallion with suitable bloodlines, but Cody had a no-strings, no-kids fling in mind. Mel wants his DNA every bit as much as she wants his desirable body, so who will win this battle of the bedroom – the handsome pilot or the feisty airline heiress? WARNING: Hot pilot, willing widow, very high stakes. This passionate love story is part of Kris Pearson's 'Wicked in Wellington' series. It's set in Wellington, New Zealand, and the beautiful harbor is almost another character in the cast. It's a friends-to-lovers story, and a workplace romance - the progression of two people who were deeply attracted the moment they met, but had to resist the fierce pull or hurt someone they both loved. There's wealth and ambition, and plenty of Fifty Shades of Grey red-hot sex - as the reviews assure you. But will Melanie achieve what she wants? Will Cody give her the gift she craves? Come for a 'holiday' Downunder and enjoy a summertime Christmas in a beautiful location with two people hell-bent on happiness.

The Scarlet Bay series about the billionaire Wynn family consists of Summer Sparks, Summer Secrets, and Summer Spice. Her South & Sexy books are set in her capital city of Wellington so she can make use of the beautiful harbor in the plots. Her Heartlands series follows the girls who live deep in the New Zealand countryside. Her all-time bestseller is 'Taken By The Sheikh', and there's 'Desired By The Sheikh' too. She's now writing the Merry Summerfield cozy mysteries - lots of cats and dogs and amateur sleuthing. The first title is Murder in the Aisle, followed by Xmas Marks the Spot, Murder! they Meowed, and Body! they Barked. For good measure, she's cloned herself!
