Secrets. Between shocking family revelations and a shared passionate moment she's hoping her new boss won't recall, Belle Carson can't get away from secrets. Yet she can't bring herself to tell Matt Malone that she's the Cleopatra he almost went home with years ago after a costume party. She needs this job too much.
But Belle's certainly never forgotten him. Dreamed about Matt, actually, which means it's all the more disappointing that she seems to have made zero impact on him. And that's a shame, because she loves Matt, loves his big, boisterous family--the exact opposite of hers. What's a girl to do? Stay quiet and maintain the status quo? Or take a leap, tell him the truth... and risk losing him again?
Since the day Harlequin bought her first novel, Kathleen has published more than 30 titles with them- everything from hot, sexy contemporaries to dark, brooding suspense. Read in more than 30 countries and 29 languages, she's a five-time finalist for the prestigious RWA RITA Award, a winner of the Maggie Award, and a three-time finalist for Romantic Times' Reviewer's Choice.
Kathleen comes from a family of writers, poets, and journalists- though she may be the one shameless romantic in the bunch. A true Cancer, she values home and family above everything and wouldn't dream of ditching a single friend, memory, gift, or love letter. Consequently, her office is a mess, full of books, colored cut glass, photo albums, Madame Alexander dolls, and a cockatiel who whistles the theme from "The X Files." She is addicted to Mozart and Elvis, Dancing With the Stars, Dorothy Dunnett novels, and sugar-free Popsicles.
