Simply Sexy
by Linda Francis Lee

She's sworn off bad boys.
There's just one problem. . .

When life goes awry for wild and sexy Julia Boudreaux, she packs up her stiletto heels and swears off guys who spell nothing but trouble. And to keep her job in television, she decides to create a TV hit—a makeover show. She's going to turn rugged West Texas men into sensitive guys. Easier pitched than done.

Undercover cop Ben Prescott is so sexy it hurts. Back in Julia's orbit after a brush with a bullet, Ben steers clear of the woman who used to set his blood on fire. She's changed from Mae West to Mother Teresa, and she's trying to turn him into a sensitive guy. But when life heats up, will this rugged hunk risk everything for a woman who's about to lose it all?



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.
