Creature Comfort, the largest animal hospital in Tennessee, treats animals of al sizes ? horses and cattle as well as family pets. In this heartwarming series, you'll meet the patients and their owners, and you'll get to know the men and women who love and care for creatures - great and small.

Dr. Eleanor Grayson, large-animal vet at Creature Comfort, has taken care of animals all her life. Now she's in charge of the new farm program at the local prison. As she meets the inmates, one man catches her eye.

Steve Chadwick was still grieving his wife's death when he was convicted of her murder. Now he has only one thing on his mind. Escape! He needs to confront the real killer before the man absconds to Brazil. The last thing Steve can afford is to let the attractive lady vet distract him.

And the last thing Eleanor can afford is to fall for a convict with vengeance in his heart.



Carolyn McSparren's Bio

Carolyn McSparren's first Harlequin Superromance, The Only Child, published in January 1997, was a 1996 finalist in the Romance Writers of America Gold Heart Awards, a finalist in Romantic Times magazine's Best First Novel and Best Superromance categories, and a RITA finalist for Best First Book as well.

She has won two Maggie Awards from the Georgia Romance Writers, and has been a Golden Heart finalist twice. She was 1997 president of the River City Romance Writers, the Memphis chapter of Romance Writers of America, and is the found and first president of Malice in Memphis, the Memphis Chapter of Sisters in Crime, the national organization for mystery writers.

Her fourth Superromance, Fathers & Sons, was a March 1999 release, and her fifth, Mr. Miracle, a stand- alone follow-up to If Wishes Were Horses, is a September 1999 release.

Carolyn has lived in Germany, France, Italy and "too many cities in the U.S. to count." She now lives in the country outside of Memphis, Tennessee in an old house with two dogs, two cats, two horses and one husband -- "not necessarily in order of importance." At the moment, Carolyn is working on her next Superromance, tentatively titled Bless The Beasts And The Children, as well as a historical murder mystery set during the yellow fever epidemic of 1878.
