My Three Girls
by Susan Floyd

Can Deputy Brady Moore, a man desperate to protect his brother's children, convince Dana Ritchie, a woman desperate to protect herself, to be his wife?

Brady's only asking Dana to be a temporary wife. After all, he can hardly expect a woman he's just met to spend the rest of her life with him and his three nieces. If there was any other way to keep the little girls from entering "the system," he wouldn't even ask.

Dana's more than reluctant to accept. She once loved a little boy who wasn't hers and lived to regret it. If she gives her heart to the children and then has to watch them walk away, she might never recover. But how is she ever going to resist these three girls?

Susan Floyd's Bio

With the December 2001 release of her fourth book, A Cowboy for Clementine, Susan Floyd has found herself very busy holding down both a full-time writing career and a full-time teaching career. "Lots of people ask if now that I'm published, I'm going to give up the teaching," she says. However, she can't even think about trading in one dream in for another because both jobs fulfill her in different ways.

"Teaching is a very external job. You're interacting with students, caring about them, pushing them to achieve higher standards. On the other hand, writing is an incredibly internal job and I spend most of the time pushing myself to achieve higher standards!" Susan Floyd observes. "I just want to tell stories that are well-written, where the reader feels like she can actually touch my characters because they seem so real."

Her fifth book, titled My Three Girls, is scheduled to be released in November 2002. Of course, there are always brand new stories in the works or new stories about familiar characters. Los Banos, California still is her setting of choice for her romances.

On the home front, she and her husband, Michael, have added a new family member, Dexter Doggie, who was abused by his previous owners. Dexter has done much to breathe new life into Mr. Riley, who has decided to make his new bed in Susan's closet, just to get some relief from his new baby brother.
