Dear Reader,

Happy New Year! I hope that 2011 was kind to you and that 2012 promises to be even better. If you’ve picked up this book, then I hope that you’ve added “read more” to your list of New Year’s resolutions. I always do and it’s one of the few resolutions that I actually keep. Alas, it’s the “diet” one that always falls by the wayside first, which is why my heroes always like a woman with a little meat on her bones. And the hero in this book is no exception.

Having been dubbed “the Phoenix” for walking out of a blazing building without so much as a blister, former army ranger Jay Weatherford has decided that it’s time to stop tempting fate and presenting himself to the world of war as a perpetual target. But when Jay is tapped to find Truffles, the wealthiest Yorkie in the southeast, he’s not altogether certain he’s made the right decision. And when scrappy, smart-mouthed Charlie Martin starts getting in his way—and under his skin—he’s absolutely certain of it.

As always, thanks so much for picking up my books! I am so very thankful for my readers and love hearing from them, so be sure to follow me on Twitter @RhondaRNelson, like me on Facebook and look for upcoming releases and news on my website, ReadRhondaNelson.com.

Happy reading!
