Tempting the Tycoon
by Cindy Gerard

Her best friend's wedding was not the place for a seduction. But Nate McGrory's potent blend of masculinity, charm and sensuality made Rachael Matthews want to run for cover — or straight into his arms. Giving in to the gorgeous millionaire lawyer was the last thing she should do, but Nate's passionate pursuit, complete with jet- setting dates and sizzling kisses, was making him awfully hard to resist....

Nate intended to get to know the petite wedding planner on a much more personal level. He'd take it sensual and slow, and see where it led — never dreaming that winning her heart put him in imminent danger of losing his own....

Cindy Gerard's Bio

In the ABOUT ME, department, I'm a born and raised Midwesterner and love living on our acreage in rural Iowa. My husband, Tom, raises quarter horses and we have two very spoiled dogs, Ellie, an English Pointer and Boomer, a Brittany Spaniel. Both take exception to eating off the floor. We spend as much time as possible at our cabin in Northern Minnesota in the summer where we love to entertain family and friends. Our cabin is on a beautiful, glacial lake with breathtaking scenery and good fishing. And I LOVE to fish -- yeah, I even bait my own hook. Yuck.

We are also doting, adoring grandparents of little Kayla and her brand new brother Blake. I'm an amateur potter (when I can find the time), I love music and love to keep fit by walking and exercising. I had the 'walk' of a lifetime when I hiked the Grand Canyon with friends in March of 2004 but I've got to tell you, when I stood at the top and looked down, I definitely had a "What am I thinking?" moment.

Family comes first for me, always. But, there are bills to pay and my writing income contributes to the budget. For that reason, I treat my writing as a job. A typical weekday for me is getting up between 6:30 and 7:00, settling in to write shortly after and working until 4:30 or 5:30 and sometimes later, depending on whether or not a deadline is looming. If I take a day off during the week to play, then I will make it up by writing on Saturday or Sunday that week. That said, I generally plan my contract deadlines around family plans and vacations.
