Synopsis

A sexy novel, rich with love, laughter, and steamy passion that sizzles with New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas’s hallmark sensuality and delicious tension Millionaire Texas playboy Jack Travis lives for pleasure. He has money, women, and no commitments, and that’s just the way he likes it. Then a gorgeous stranger with an infant appears on his doorstep, rocking his carefree world.
Columnist Ella Varner liked her independent life too, until her wild younger sister Tara, skipped town, leaving baby Luke in her responsible hands. Ella doesn’t know how to raise a child, and she’s not going to do it alone. The baby’s father—Jack—will have to help. For the first time in his life, Jack can’t smooth talk his way out a jam. But the more he gets to know Ella and Luke, the more he discovers he doesn’t want to. Ella admits the charming Jack is sexy as hell. But if she lets her guard down will he break her heart?   As sparks fly and heat rises drawing them irresistibly closer, Jack and Ella will have to decide if they’re playing house . . . or playing for keeps.

About Lisa Kleypas

Lisa Kleypas, an American author, was born in 1964, and chose the genre of Historical Romantic Novels to begin her writing career. Even when her and her mother's Texas homes were taken by a devastating flood, they both went to buy the necessities, and for both of them that included a romance novel. After her graduation from Wellesley College in Political Science, Lisa published her first book at age 21. She has been very successful writing for Avon Books with her representative being the prestigious William Morris Agency.

Lisa has been writing full time since selling that first book at 21 years of age. She has sold millions of copies around the world, and has won many writing achievement awards over the years. One non-writing achievement came when she was Miss Massachusetts in the Miss America Pageant in 1985. At only 5'2", it was a challenge to wear a banner on which was printed one of the longest state names. She did win a "talented non-finalist" award for singing an original song.

Lisa decided in 2006 to temporarily change her writing genre to contemporary romance, but she did say she plans to return to historical romance in the future. Her list of published books keeps growing, with her 2012 book, "Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor" being made into the Hallmark movie, "Christmas With Holly". In 2015, she was given the honor of emceeing the Romance Writers of America Award Show. Lisa lives in Washington with her husband, Gregory, and their two children.
