Ryder O’Callaghan
finds Toria Whitney on the side of a forest road with a totaled car, a sprained
ankle, and a wedding dress. Both Ryder and Toria are scheduled to be married in
three weeks—but not to each other.
Deep down inside, Ryder longs for the freedom and
simple honesty of a less complicated life, but his pride has him hell bent on
proving a point to his father. He’s building an estate home and marrying the
sophisticated, elegant woman he’s chosen for his fiancée.
Confident in his conviction that love is overrated,
Ryder is determined to make the lukewarm relationship work, so he denies his
surprising fascination for his roadside damsel in distress.
Toria is running scared. She has called off her
wedding to her parents’ idea of the perfect husband, and she needs time and
space to discover what she really wants. The last thing she needs to complicate
her life is the overwhelming attraction she feels for Ryder.
But sometimes love arrives in the most unexpected
places.

Author Bio for
Suzanne Stengl
When I was a child, I
shared a bedroom with three of my younger sisters. I used to tell them stories
to help them fall asleep. Apparently the stories weren’t particularly
interesting, because they fell asleep before the stories ended. Unaware that
they were sleeping, I would keep telling the story, until my mother called up
the stairs. “Sue? They’ve gone to sleep.” And then I would quietly finish the
story in my head.
I didn’t start
writing down my stories until much later. In my last year of university, I
collected all the reports from my Marketing Group and wrote up our study like a
novel. My classmates liked it, and better, so did the prof.
Finally, after
getting a degree in Commerce, I found a little two-line invitation to a romance
writers organization in the back of the Writers Guild magazine. And I showed
up. I had found my people.
“Suzanne Stengl has a
lovely voice with a subtle hint of humor.”
