More About the Author

Bettye Griffin was told by her English professor that she had a gift for writing and might want to consider pursuing writing as a professional career. She promptly dropped out of college and started crafting stories...and just 22 short years later sold her first book. Bettye writes both contemporary romance and women's fiction. A native of Yonkers, New York, Bettye has also lived in Florida and Illinois, and now crafts her compelling, drama-filled tales from her home in the great dairy state of Wisconsin. Bettye thoroughly enjoys Wisconsin's contributions to the American diet and often nibbles on cheese while writing, and she celebrates a good day of writing by having a glass of the beer that made Milwaukee famous.

Since 1998, Bettye has written 6 novels of women's fiction, including Once Upon A Project (2008) and A New Kind of Bliss (2009); and 13 contemporary romances, including A Love For All Seasons (2007) and A Love of Her Own (1999). In 2009, seeing the creative and financial freedom of publishing independent projects, Bettye started her own imprint, Bunderful Books, and to date has published three contemporary romances through this outlet, Save The Best For Last (2009), The Heat of Heat (2010), and A Kiss of a Different Color (2011).

5.0 out of 5 stars ***I Loved This Novel!!!***, June 10, 2007

This book grabbed my interest from beginning to end. I knew something was up when Fletcher paid more attention to Daphne than Alicia and how Caroline tried several times to tell Alicia "something" but Daphne would not leave them alone to talk. Mr. Jack Devlin is a special kind of guy. Not only did he not stand for any of Alicia's mess, but he didn't take advantage of her vulnerability. He was there for her and I liked that. The other characters were interesting as well..yes even Daphne.
