Every epic love story starts somewhere… When Ryan Harrison met Annie Mathews, he didn’t expect his life to be turned upside down. One smile from her, though, one touch of her silky lips, and every one of his priorities was realigned. For the past three years, he’s juggled his growing career in the pharmaceutical industry with her finishing school. He’s even managed to pretend their love affair is light and casual so as not to spook her. But now, with her on the verge of her college graduation, Ryan’s ready to step things up. Especially with the job offer he just received. The only problem is…he has no idea if Annie feels the same. And if she doesn’t want to go with him to San Francisco, he has no idea what he’ll do next.
Author

Before topping multiple bestseller lists—including those of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal—award winning author Elisabeth Naughton taught middle school science. A voracious reader, she soon discovered she had a knack for creating stories with a chemistry of their own. The spark turned into a flame, and Elisabeth now writes full-time. Though primarily known for her romantic suspense work, Elisabeth has penned over thirty books and continues to write in multiple genres, including paranormal romance and contemporary romance. Her books have been translated into numerous languages and have earned several award nominations, including three prestigious RITA® nominations from Romance Writers of America. In 2017, REPRESSED, the first book in her Deadly Secrets series, won the RITA® for best romantic suspense. Elisabeth's work has been praised by the Chicago Tribune as being filled with "deadly intrigue, high adrenaline action, and scorchingly hot passion.” Kirkus calls her "a writer talented enough at weaving a yarn to get her readers ensnared in it.” When not dreaming up new stories, Elisabeth can be found spending time with her husband and three children in their western Oregon home, wrangling two cats, or chasing after one very rambunctious Dalmatian.
