SHE ALWAYS HAD HER HEAD IN A BOOK... Never-married Maddy Lawrence, thirty-four-year-old librarian, was a virgin whose only adventures to date had been courtesy of the printed page. Her favorite fictional hero? Ace MacKenzie—bold swashbuckler, who could rescue the downtrodden and make women swoon, both at the same time. ...UNTIL HE WALKED OUT OF ONE Maddy knew that there was no way that her real-life rescuer could really be her beloved Ace. But it was hard to believe that a mere flesh-and-blood man could take her on this adventure that had, incredibly, become the romance she had always dreamed of.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Linda Turner and her identical twin sister, Brenda, were known throughout the neighborhood in which they grew up simply as "Twin." No one except their parents and their older brother could tell them apart. They dressed alike, wore their hair alike, and even had the same glasses, so it wasn’t surprising that they were stared at everywhere they went. Consequently, when Linda announced at the age of 25 that she was going to start writing romance novels, she wasn’t surprised when Brenda said, "I don’t care how famous your name gets, just make sure your face doesn’t become recognizable!" Needless to say, Linda’s face isn’t known in every household in the U.S. — yet. Recently, she spent six weeks taking screenwriting classes at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, and she’s made no secret of the fact that she plans to write and—hopefully—sell a screenplay in the new millennium.
