More About the Author

Cait London is my latest pseudonym; previous was Cait Logan, and I'm thrilled when people remember my other writing persona. After 20+ years in publishing best sellers, I've received awards and have written in almost all of the romance subgenres (series, historical, paranormal, etc.), and a hefty amount of those were in Desires, including the Tallchiefs. More info at my website and blog, an enewsletter is available at [e-mail]. I'm probably best known for small town secrets, characterization and twists and am a member of several writing groups. I am currently researching new projects/novels.

This review is from: Instinctive Male (Heartbreakers) (Mass Market Paperback)

Ellie Lathrop had grown up rich. Her father, Paul Lathrop, was a single parent and owned the chain of Mignon International Resorts. He held a lot of power and influence. Being so busy, it had been up to little Ellie to practically raise her younger sister, Hillary.

Once grown, selfish Hillary found herself pregnant and did NOT want a child. However, Ellie did! Ellie gave almost everything she owned to Hillary and adopted baby Tanya. Things were fine, until Hillary got engaged and decided she wanted Tanya back to help her public image. Worse yet, Paul agreed with Hillary and was pressuring Ellie to hand over Tanya. To keep Tanya safe, Ellie packed up and ran. Paul and Hillary would stop at nothing to take Tanya away and use her for personal gain. Neither actually cared for little Tanya and never would. Ellie used what little money she had left to stay ahead of Paul and Hillary's search for them. Ellie had only one hope. There was only one man that could stand up to Paul and protect Tanya.

Mikhail Stepanov owned the Amoteh Resort, which was part of Paul's chain. Mikhail and Ellie had always clashed with each other. For Tanya, they made a truce. Shortly afterward, they stopped rubbing each other wrong every time they met and romance bloomed. Ellie, being so used to her father, sister, and the cruel rich world of society, found it difficult to adjust to the Stepanov family. The entire clan actually CARED for each other and looked after each other. Emotions were not considered to be weaknesses. But would they be able to help keep Tanya safe?

**** The Stepanov family won my affection quickly. This clan knew that family always came first. They never held back their emotions.

Author Cait London introduced a heroine who was used to the exact opposite. This game me, as the reader, several very interesting scenes. Another wonderful romance from fabulous writer, Cait London! Buy this! I have no doubt you will love it.
