About The Author
Born in Visalia, California, I’m a small town girl at heart. I love central California’s golden foothills, oak trees, and the miles of farmland. In my mind, there’s nothing sweeter in the world than the heady fragrance of orange blossoms on a sultry summer night.
As a little girl I spent hours on my bed, staring out the window, dreaming of far off places, fearless knights, and happy-ever-after endings. In my imagination I was never the geeky bookworm with the thick coke-bottle glasses, but a princess, a magical fairy, a Joan-of-Arc crusader.
My parents fed my imagination by taking our family to Europe for a year when I was thirteen. The year away changed me (I wasn’t a geek for once!) and overseas I discovered a huge and wonderful world with different cultures and customs. I loved everything about Europe, but felt especially passionate about Italy and those gorgeous Italian men (no wonder my first very Presents hero was Italian).
I confess, after that incredible year in Europe, the travel bug bit, and bit hard. I spent much of my high school and college years abroad, studying in South Africa, Japan and Ireland. South Africa remains a country of my heart, the people, the land and politics complex and heart-wrenching.
After my years of traveling and studying I had to settle down and earn a living. With my Bachelors degree from UCLA in American Studies, a program that combines American literature and American history, I’ve worked in sales and marketing, as well as a director of a non-profit foundation. Later I earned my Masters in Writing from the University of San Francisco and taught jr. high and high school English.
I now live in Seattle and Hawaii with my three sons. I never mind a rainy day, either, because that’s when I sit at my desk and write stories about far-away places, fascinating people, and most importantly of all, love. I like a story with a happy ending. We all do.

This was a real troublesome marriage and I just could not see what the author wanted us to believe that this couple would overcome their many issues. What I could see was the lead female character ending up back in a mental institute within months and losing complete control of her reality.A better executed plot. This was the second story I have read by this author. It just seems she does better when she doesn’t add too much drama and when spends more time exploring the characters.

“Good Reading”

A deep and complex love shared by two people who lacked communication. A compelling story that keeps you turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens to Morgan’s father and how Morgan and Drakon strengthen their marriage. I disliked Bronwyn from beginning…having jealous tendencies I could totally relate to Morgan’s extreme dislike/jealousy.The book had just enough spice to make it yummy! (I won this book and a few others in a Jane Porter give away)

Absolutely amazing! What an emotional, tear at your heart strings story! Morgan Copeland is in desperate need of financial (and not only) help and the only one who can provide that is her estranged husband Drakon Xanthis. She also is in desperate need of a divorce but Drakon refuses to sign the papers even though it’s been 5 years since they’ve seen each other. When the heroine arrives in her husband’s Villa not only he gives her the money she needs but he is also willing to give her the divorce she so wants. So in that sense the description is misleading. Drakon does not want her body in exchange for his money quite the contrary. Their reunion is hot, steamy and very emotional. This story makes you realize what the meaning of love and marriage is all about and really makes you think about the marriage vows that
say “for better or for worse.” I would have given it 5 stars but sadly the epilogue didn’t satisfy me. I guess I was expecting them to have a baby…

I know picking up a “Presents Book” that I am going to enjoy it and that there will be a great escape to a far away land with a handsome hero. Since it was a Jane Porter, it was like an extra special treat, and then to add one of her reader favorites with it. Well it was like a hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top!It is paired with At the Greek Boss’s Bidding, which is a reader favorite, and it was definitely one of my favorites. I enjoyed getting to read it again. This a great story about two very broken people, who have to overcome many obstacles and lies in order to realize how much they mean to each other and are meant to be together. Jane Porter does a great job of making you fall in love with characters as the characters themselves fall in love, in spite of the fact that you didn’t really want to like them sometimes.If you are looking for a great escape read, this will not disappoint you, plus you get twice the escape for the price of one!

This was a super hot story for Presents! I found myself liking Drakon more than Morgan, but both were good characters (though at one point he realizes certain things, yet continues to act the same as he has in the past for a while longer…wish his revelation would have led more directly to some kind of change). While they both were flawed and had issues that could still pose trouble for their relationship, by the end you believe that they are deeply in love and will work harder at it this time. Also, sometimes it’s hard to believe the shortened time frame in a lot of these types of stories (mere days), but this one works because of their history. For several reasons, it leaves you wanting to read the next book in the series…overall good writing. My first by this author, but as mentioned, not going to be the last.
