Looking for Lacey
by Linda Francis Lee

IN THE GAME OF SEDUCTION,THIS FOOTBALL LEGEND WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS THAN TOTAL SURRENDER.

When prim and proper Lacey Wright decided to start a new life, she never dreamed she'd be managing a sports bar. But she is determined to make it work. The only thing standing in the way is her recklessly charming new boss--a man she finds stubbornly infuriating . . . and completely irresistible.

There isn't a woman in all of Texas who can resist the sensually confident man that embodies bad boy Bobby McIntyre--no one, that is, except the prissy new bar manager who gets his blood pumping. She's not interested in his money orhis fame, and she sees through the macho act he shows the world. But when the tables are turned and it's Lacey who demands total surrender, can Bobby Mac afford the high stakes in a game of true love?



Linda Francis Lee's Bio

RITA nominated author Linda Francis Lee is a native Texan now calling New York City home. Not crazy about heights, she's not sure how she ended up living on the 34th floor of a high rise in Manhattan. But there she is, diving into the brand new adventure of writing contemporary romance novels.

Lee's career truly began with the publication of the historical romance, Blue Waltz, which has been viewed as a breakthrough novel. The Atlanta Journal/Constitution called it "absolutely stunning."

Growing up, Lee created stories in her head. "That's a nice way of saying I spent too much time day dreaming," she laughs. At 20, realizing that she had done most of her living vicariously through reading, Lee took on a series of challenges. "I did things I thought I couldn't do," she recalls.

Among a laundry list of challenges, Lee began running and taking math and science courses until she ran a marathon and became a Probability and Statistics teacher. But it was writing that captured her imagination. Eleven books later, Lee's stories have been called wildly romantic and deeply emotional, a moving combination of laughter and tears.
