mary f - Hello Tami
Sabrina Moses - Whatever it takes---sounds like a title for this chatroom, eh?
Winnie Griggs - Sure. WHATEVER IT TAKES is about a pair of mismatched, headstrong, strangers who enter into a mock-courtship. SHE needs to gain respectability to adopt an orphan she has grown to love, HE needs to satisfy a debt of honor his family owes her.
ghostwtr - Thanks, KatBos. Winnie, tell us a little about your book. Oh, I see that;'s been asked.
Winnie Griggs - Neither Maddy nor Clay have matrimony in mind, but when they enter into the pretend engagement, things become a bit too real for comfort. As the line between pretense and reality begin to blur, the sparks that fly threaten to send all their well-laid plans up in smoke..
