Her Bad-Boy Hero on a Harley... Caleb Strong was a hell-raiser from the wrong side of the tracks, impossibly sexy—and everything a woman like Cheyenne Whitney Merrit knew she wasn't supposed to want! A "good girl" from a respected family, whose marriage to the "right boy" had left her a young widow, she couldn't say no when Caleb stalked her on his huge motorcycle and dared her to be reckless, to come for a ride. His wicked, confident smile taunted her, made her burn with restless longing—and wonder what secrets he could teach her. When his mouth ravished hers with hot, hungry kisses, Cheyenne reveled in the intense, searing pleasure—and he was shocked to discover a wildcat in his arms, a woman of spirit who'd risk admitting she loved him. Caleb Strong had vowed revenge on the town that had hurt his family and driven him away years before, but what he felt for Cheyenne was dangerous enough to send him running for cover. Could she prove her love was strong enough to survive his doubts and a town without pity?

Barbara Schroeder was born on 28 October 1946 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, USA. She worked as nurse, before she married William P. Boswell, a attorney, and they had three daughters. She has been a longtime romance novel fan, becoming hooked on the romances by Harlequin back in the mid-‘70s when she was home with her three small daughters. When the youngest reached school age in 1983, she wanted something to do with her extra time. She thought about going back to nursing, but didn't care to deal with hospital shifts. She'd often made up stories in her head and/or continued the stories that she'd read, so it seemed like a fun idea to try to write a story of her own. It took a lot more effort and organization than the loosely strung-together scenes she'd run through her mind, but she was right about the fun part! She enjoyed the whole process and wrote a story that she knew she would enjoy reading. She sent it off and was thrilled when it was accepted! It was even more exciting to see her name on the book cover. Some 50-plus books later, it's still a thrill to see her name on the book and it's still fun to make up stories—at least most of the time! Barbara gets her ideas from everywhere but especially from reading, which she loves to do. Sometimes, just a sentence in a newspaper or a magazine will spark an idea to develop into a romance. Other times, she'll be inspired by another romance novel and she will try to put her own spin on a favorite old plot. Barbara believes that we all have our preferences—she's always been partial to the "secret baby" story line. That, plus the "marriage of convenience" and class or family conflicts are some of her particular favorites. Her three daughters are all grown up now, and she and her husband are the proud grandparents of a beautiful little grandson. They also have three cats who seem to think that they are the rulers of their house. They are terribly spoiled, and they just might be right.
