As Bad as Can Be
by Kristin Hardy

For Becka's neighbor, Mallory Carson, opening her own bar is a dream come true, and she'll do whatever's necessary to keep it going. Her brother—and silent partner—Dev gets nervous when he hears that she's trying outrageous hooks to draw customers into "Bad Reputation," and he sends his buddy, Shay O'Connor, to watch over her.

A local tavern owner, Shay doesn't approve of Mallory's Coyote Ugly approach to attracting a clientele. The more he tells her to clean up her act, the more Mallory gets the urge to show him just how bad she can be.

The only thing hotter than the sparks that fly around when they're together is the passion that sizzles between them.

Kristin Hardy's Bio

At 12, Kristin Hardy started her first book, and the seed of ambition was planted. Trained as an engineer, she was part of the team that built the mirrors for NASA's orbital x-ray telescope, an experience that drove her to switch careers to trade magazine editor. Later, she took her act online and joined a business-to-business dot com (where she was a paper millionaire for a heady 30 seconds). Around the time her stock options were spiraling down to worthlessness, she was recruited to launch a print magazine for an engineering society. She currently lives in New Hampshire with her husband.
