about this book: Julia Jones is a single mom who has turned her love of cooking into a successful catering business. Julia thought she had her whole world under control, but that was before her daughter hit those god-awful teenage years. Hormones make kids do horrible things, like sneaking out of the house and screaming at their mothers, "Mom, get a life!" Julia's rebellious teen refuses to take orders from (gasp) a workaholic who (double gasp) has no idea how to have fun.

Enter one Ryan Shane, the cousin of Julia's business partner. Ryan is tall, dark, and as yummy as a bar of rich chocolate. He's dodging the unwanted affections of an exuberant woman who could ruin his career. What he needs is a no-strings 'girlfriend' to act as a buffer.

Their plan seems so simple. Their plan seems so perfect. Sometimes...you just gotta fake it! But then passion steps in and turns perfection to pandemonium...

A note from the author: I love to cook and you can find proof of that in the recipes I post on my author blog. I don't mind admitting that my love of food is what first sparked the idea for Her Fake Romance (and in the bonus material located in the back of the book, I've included several recipes that are mentioned in the story). However, once Julia Jones stepped into my head, food took a back seat and romance boldly stepped forward.

I have always been fascinated with human relationships. Call me an arm-chair psychologist if you must, but I love the hows, the whys, and all the emotions involved in the fine art of finding that one certain someone with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. In the books I write, love usually arrives at the most inopportune moment. And the process is never easy! But it's always fun, fraught with tension, and filled with fabulous fervency.

So if you love to cook, if you love to eat, but especially if you love those chaotic emotions that come with finding the person of your dreams, then Her Fake Romance is for you.
