JACLYN: When my dad died ten years ago, I promised my mom that I wouldn't leave her. I'm not a teenager any more, I'm a grown woman, and sometimes I itch for my own family. My own life. But I worry about Mom. When the air-conditioning goes wonky at Mom's house, my brother gets a buddy of his to come fix the heat pumps, and I'm instantly attracted. One hot night at his place, and I can't get enough of Quinn. But he doesn't understand why I need to stay with my mother. QUINN: When my friend Jesse asks me to fix his mom's heat pumps, I'm happy to do it. I'm even happier to meet his stunning, curvy sister Jaclyn. We hit it off right away, and one incredible night together tells me this is the only woman for me. But she's not willing to break away from her old life to start a new one with me. Will Jaclyn's worry for her mother keep us apart—or will love come to our rescue?

Carly writes short romance stories as steamy and sweet as a triple-vanilla latte, served extra hot. If you’ve ever wished that a Hallmark™ movie showed what happened in the bedroom—in glorious technicolor detail—her books are for you! Grab your favorite hot beverage and join her for the fun. She loves chai, homemade mulled cider, Riesling and Beaujolais, and vanilla lattes (iced or extra-hot). Carly wrote her first love story at the age of ten, featuring tragic Romeo-and-Juliet deaths, and only much later discovered that she preferred stories where the lovers live, with happily-ever-after endings. She enjoys snuggling under blankets in the winter, and under the stars in summer. Loves kissing Mr. Right in exotic locations, as well as in their very own kitchen. She lives in Virginia with the love of her life and a goofball dog.
