Hot Wheels and High Heels
by Jane Graves

Trophy wife Darcy McDaniel has just discovered that, thanks to her embezzling husband, her posh, upper-class life is gone for good. Now she's trading her suburban palace for a trailer park and her weekly salon appointments for a job. Darcy needs a new man—fast—one who'll keep her in the manner she darn well deserves. Problem is, the hottest prospect around is the my-way-or-the-highway hunk who's making off with her beloved Mercedes!

Ex-cop turned repo man John Stark is sure that hiring the furious blonde in his headlights is a colossal mistake. He knows Darcy's high-maintenance, designer-labels-only type—after all, he's used to taking their cars. But he never expected this hellion to have the smarts and the spunk to go from receptionist to repo agent in record time...or to drive him insane with desire. She's the last thing this tall, dark, and dangerous loner needs...and everything he never knew he wanted.



Jane Graves' Bio

When Jane was five, her parents told her the book she'd written, Padre the Mexican Mouse, was a literary masterpiece. When she found out later that she'd named her dashing young mouse hero "Father" and that rodents really didn't have nationalities, she was crushed.

Later, Jane earned a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Oklahoma in the sequence of Professional Writing, but several years passed before she pursued publication. About that time, a friend handed her five romance novels from her keeper shelf, and a few days later after reading them all, she was hooked!

In 1999, Jane was a finalist for Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award, which led to her first sale to Harlequin Duets. Several more sales followed shortly after that, and now this award-winning author writes single- title contemporary romances for Ballantine/Ivy, as well as series romance for Harlequin Temptation under the name Jane Sullivan. She lives in a the Dallas area with her husband, her teenage daughter, and a beautiful but brainless cat who keeps her company while she's hard at work on her next book.
