Body Language
by Millie Criswell

Ellie Peters has a great apartment, a cool job as a UN interpreter, and a terrific dog. Now all she needs is the right guy to share it with and life will be perfect. But everything she's worked for is threatened the day her obsessive-compulsive, disinfectant-loving mother announces she's divorcing Ellie's father and moving in with her! And to add insult to injury, Ellie's just learned that her ex- fiance, Michael, has become her new boss!

Michael Deavers remembers all too well the sparks that flew between him and Ellie. He'd love to rekindle what they once had, but he learned from their brief engagement that he's just not a commitment kind of guy. Though with Ellie once again under his nose, it's hard to remember why he ever had cold feet. Now Ellie is desperate to get Michael out of her head, her mother out of her hair and her life out of the gutter...but old flames die hard, and this interpreter hasn't counted on the language of love.



Millie Criswell's Bio

Millie Criswell, USA Today best-selling author and winner of the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award, the National Readers Choice Award, Maggie Award, and Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence has published over twenty-five romance novels in various genres and has over two million books in print.

Millie began her writing career when her husband uttered those prophetic words: "Why don't you try writing one of those romances you're always reading?" Her secret desire was to tap dance with the Rockettes, but when she couldn't get her feet to cooperate, she opted to write instead. She began writing shortly before her fortieth birthday to stem a mid-life crisis and penned three full manuscripts before selling her first, a historical, two-and- a-half years later.

Millie resides in Virginia with her husband of thirty-four years, Larry. She has two grown children, one adorable, incredibly intelligent granddaughter, and a Boston Terrier named Jake.
