USA Today bestselling author Informationen zum Autor Linda Francis Lee is the award-winning author of Suddenly Sexy, Sinfully Sexy, and Simply Sexy, among many other novels. A native of Texas, she now calls New York City home. Klappentext In this captivating contemporary romance, sure to delight readers of Rachel Gibson and Susan Elizabeth Phillips, a small-town wallflower learns that in the game of love, being shy gets you nowhere. Kate Bloom's ordered world is turned upside down when notorious bad boy and superstar athlete Jesse Chapman comes home. Seeing him again reminds Kate of all the reasons she harbored a Texas-sized crush on him back when they were kids. But she isn't a little girl anymore . . . and she's ready to show this hell-raising playboy just how much she's grown up. After a reporter starts digging into his past, Jesse Chapman returns home looking for space. The last thing he needs is a distraction, but that's just what he gets when he sees his little Katie. Suddenly the girl next door is hot and sexy-and more than even this legendary ladies' man can handle.one Katherine Bloom told herself she could do this. She just needed to focus and concentrate on getting the job done as quickly and as efficiently as possible. She refused to think about the fact that she didn’t have much experience. Though surely it was no different than riding a bike. Once you’d done it, you never forgot how. And if this was what she had to do to keep her job, so be it. Nerves tried to break through her raised-chin bravado, and suddenly keeping her incredibly great job as an award-winning newswoman didn’t seem all that important. If she hurried, she realized, she could walk out the door and be in Mexico by lunch. She could change her name. Dye her hair. Find employment selling tacos on the street corner in downtown Ciudad Juárez. Didn’t everyone need a career change at one time or another? Groaning at herself, she shook the thought away. During the last week, she had put her reporter’s skills to work. She had found magazine articles, online Web sites, and books with titles like Make It Sizzle and Spice Up Your Life. Not one to depend on a man to think of every eventuality, she’d had the foresight to purchase a few things she thought they might need. A bottle of wine. Some painful-looking utensils. Who knew things had gotten so creative? Condiments. Honey. Oil. Plus, carrots and potatoes. She still couldn’t believe Julia expected her to cook on live television with a man referred to as the Naked Chef. Kate took a deep calming breath, thought about the stress management techniques she had learned in the company-sponsored stress management course—which she had failed—then smoothed her apron. Seconds more ticked by before she finally settled on a smile, taking in the pristine white-latticed window behind her, the perfect sink, the shiny oven. Even a real refrigerator. She had thought of everything when planning this kitchen. Forget the fact that the refrigerator wasn’t plugged in, the sunrise in the window was painted, and the walls were fake. Only the stove top actually worked. Regardless, the television set for Getting Real with Kate couldn’t have looked more authentic if they had shot the segment from the cozy confines of someone’s very own home. However, none of that mattered just then. With only three minutes until airtime, the producer made her heart go still when he spoke into her earpiece. “Kate, we’ve got a problem. The chef isn’t here yet.” Julia had sworn the cooking segment was going to be Kate’s ticket to better ratings. “We won’t have just any old chef for the launch of Getting Real, we’ll have a sexy naked chef. Women will love it!” Kate wasn’t s...
