There is nothing more exciting for a writer than that first
published book. You never forget the day you get “the call” or the day you behold that first published copy, though nowadays it’s just as likely to be an
e-book as a print book. But it’s exciting either way, like your birthday and
New Year’s Eve all rolled into one.
My writing partner, Anne Farrell, and I each got the call one
October quite a few years ago, and our book was published the following April, as Private Affair, Kensington Precious Gem #121, and for an entire
month it could be seen in the book section at Wal-Mart! Then it disappeared for more than a decade.
So it is almost as
exciting for us to now see the book, now titled Worth The Risk, getting a second chance to reach readers in an
updated and revised e-book version.
Worth The Risk is
all about second chances, something our main characters could use. All are
wounded: Amanda from a humiliating experience in her past, Mitch from a
terrible accident and disastrous marriage, and little Josh from the death of
his mother.

Blurb:
Children's librarian Amanda Lloyd values privacy above all
else. Three years ago her wedding ended in disaster when her groom was arrested
at the altar and the story of the 'Embezzler's Bride' appeared in the
supermarket tabloids. The experience has left her determined to avoid being
caught in the public eye again. Until she meets a sexy single dad with a scandalous
past.
Ex-racer Mitch Delaney is a public figure whose life has
been plastered across the tabloids more than once. But he believes that
anything worth doing is worth a risk. After the death of his ex-wife, he moved
to Southern California to take care of his son Josh. He doesn't need the
complication of a woman in his life, especially since Josh's grandparents have
filed suit for custody. But Josh is on the hunt for a new mother and he has his
heart set on Miss Amanda, and Mitch can't fault his son's taste.
Against her better judgment, Amanda finds herself falling
for both of the Delaney men. When she agrees to accompany Mitch to a
high-profile movie premiere, they draw the attention of the tabloids. Overnight
Amanda’s private affair becomes very public indeed, threatening her job and
Mitch’s custody suit. She’s waited twenty-eight years for the right man. But
will happiness come at too high a price?
