ABOUT THE BOOK No one is more surprised than Colleen Collins when she’s offered a job writing fluffy magazine articles about rural Texas cooking. But after only a few days in the charming little town of San Saline, the big-city reporter is falling for the local residents, and finding it impossible to resist the infuriating True McKittrick, a local boy-made-good whose mere presence makes her feel alive...and at home. Soon, this unlikely romantic pairing is stirring up more than just desire. It’s making Collie wonder about the life that once seemed perfect -- and the chance of starting over...with a man who’s True. Other Books by This Author Tending Roses Good Hope Road

LISA WINGATE
When not disguised as an author, I am the mother of two young sons. I wanted girls. I got boys. I never dreamed that boys could be so wonderful. But that is another story.

I can not remember a time when I didn’t write. I started writing books before I started school, and I never quit writing. I had a very special first-grade teacher in Peasley School in Northboro, Massachusetts, who recognized a little ability and a lot of desire in a shy transfer student. She wrote on my report card that she expected to see my name in the pages of a magazine one day, and I suddenly felt incredibly special. She started reading my stories to the class, and I was hooked. I quickly discovered the joy of having an audience, and set out on many, many writing projects.
