Other Books 1. Seduce Me 2. Brazen 3. Secret Fantasy he's the perfect daughter ... almost. Samantha Reed is willing to settle into marriage as a trophy wife to a wealthy older man—if it will help her aging father pay off his debts. But not before having her first, last and only fling—cramming a lifetime's worth of lust into one weekend. When her car breaks down near a roadside tavern, she sets her sights on a sexy bartender—the perfect man for her love-him-and-leave-him fantasy. Only it never occurs to Samantha that she might fall in love—or that Mac might have a few fantasies of his own ... A note from Carly: the story behind the tale: Back in my prepublished days, my husband and I took a trip to Arizona where I was inspired. I fell in love with the state, the climate, the atmosphere, and the idea for my first "hot" book was born. Brazen was my tenth completed manuscript over seven years and my first attempt at something this sizzling. I targeted Harlequin Temptation and it was in the early days of Blaze. I didn't know if I could write it until I tried and these characters spoke to me. I hope they speak to you too! I have a soft spot for this particular story and characters as well as the early cover which is one of my personal favorites. Enjoy!
