Beautiful but buttoned-down 34 year-old attorney Angela Dennis doesn’t need a crystal ball to see what her immediate future holds: a Christmas marriage proposal from her doctor boyfriend and a well-deserved partnership offer from her law firm. But her life implodes when her boyfriend dumps her for a younger woman and an accident claims her sister and brother-in-law, orphaning Angela’s three-and-a-half year old niece, Maya. Badly shaken, but determined to step up to the plate even though she has no discernible maternal instincts, Angela decides to do the right thing and adopt Maya.
There’s just one problem. A six-foot-four, devastatingly handsome, womanizing rogue of a problem.
Brash former college basketball player turned personal trainer Justus Robinson has always made his own path and answered to no one. How else could he step out from his perfect older brother’s shadow and deal with his disapproving dictator of a father? But now Justus wants two things: to adopt his dead brother’s child and to seduce Angela Dennis, not necessarily in that order. He’s the logical choice to adopt Maya because he, unlike Angela, has always been a meaningful part of the girl’s life. And he’s been determined to unleash Angela’s hidden passions ever since he first laid eyes on her ten years ago when he was only seventeen. Well, he’s not seventeen now, and he’s just the man to help rebuild Angela’s badly bruised ego with a brief affair—even though he can’t shake the feeling there’ll be nothing brief about it…
What happens when a woman who thinks risk is a four-letter word meets a man willing to risk everything for a chance with her?
Shiloh posted the other day about a signing she had with Ann Christopher. It reminded me to check and see if Risk was out yet. It is! I picked it up yesterday at wal-mart.
It was the cover that first caught my eye. And so far the writing is better than the wonderful cover. I would say it reads very harlequinish so if you enjoy categories check it out, keep in mind it is longer.
This is a second chance at love story, with a twist. Sort of ;). Oh just read the summary! Then go check out the excerpt here.
oh my goodness, that cover is smokin’ hot.
We have Wal-Mart in Mexico, I wonder if they stock English books. I want!
I love that cover. Book got a great RT review, as did her upcoming. And, having met Ann I can tell you she’s absoltuely lovely. Very friendly and smart, but a tad too pretty 🙂
Yummm! I love a beautiful back on a man. Very sexy! This looks like a fun book. I’m off to Wallie World to see if they have it in stock.
I’ve been looking for this book – might have to try Wal-Mart since Borders isn’t carrying it – you have to order it from them.
Yes do go look for it! I was sort of surprised to see it at wallyworld because the cover is some what hawt. But at the same time it isn’t really…
But man it is purdy…. I would guess you will find it Gwen if not I know the one on I10 has it *g*.
