She Tara, He Zane Tara Martin liked to be on top of things. Dependent only upon twentieth-century conveniences, the thoroughly civilized beauty sought to make a name for herself as a top-notch photojournalist—and she certainly had no time for trekking through the wilderness. But when a plea from her best friend sent her off into the Smoky Mountains to snap a sasquatch, a twisted ankle left her in a precarious position—and when she looked up, she saw the biggest foot she'd ever seen. Tara learned that the big foot belonged to an even bigger man—with a colossal heart and a body to die for. And that man, who had been raised alone in the wilds of Appalachia, would teach Tara that not every part of her life should be controlled, that sometimes the best things in life were spontaneous—that what she needed was something daring, something passionate, but most important . . . Something Wild.
Author
I've always been an incurable romantic. While I enjoy reading all types of fiction, my favorites, the books that touch my soul, are romance novels. From sexy to thrilling, sweet to humorous, I like them all. But what I really love is writing romance—the hotter the better! I started my first novel back in high school and have been writing ever since. To date, I've published over thirty novels, one of them a prestigious RITA Award nominee, Romance Writers of America's highest award of excellence. I have also been nominated by Romantic Times magazine for several Reviewer's Choice awards, as well as a career achievement award. I've written for several different publishers, including Harlequin Books, Leisure Books, Berkley/Jove, St. Martin's Press and Warner Books. Born and bred in the Lone Start State, I still live deep in the heart with my real-life hero, Curt, and our young children. Like any over-worked, under-appreciated wife and mother, I have very little free time. But when I find a few precious moments, I LOVE to read. Some of my favorite authors include Janet Evanovich, Vicki Lewis Thompson, Charlaine Harris (see my Favorite Reads page for more) and the exceptionally talented Nina Bangs. Give me a bag of Sugar Babies, a Toby Keith or Kevin Fowler CD (I love Texas music), and a great book, and I'm in heaven!
