The Sassy One
by Susan Mallery

Francesca Marcelli married at eighteen -- right on schedule, according to her warm, colorful family, who have always said a beauty like Francesca need never worry about finding love. But a few years later, finding herself on her own with a wide open future ahead of her, she pursues her educational passions -- with a risky experiment that takes her straight into the arms of playboy CEO Sam Reese. Delighted by Francesca's interest in a no-strings relationship, Sam suddenly finds himself needing her outside the bedroom when a secret from his past lands on his doorstep. But Francesca soon has a secret of her own to tell -- a bombshell that will force the diehard bachelor to show his true colors. Are there "I do"s in Sam and Francesca's future? Only if she can persuade him that home truly is where the heart finds happiness.

Susan Mallery is the bestselling author of over eighty romances and she has yet to run out of ideas!!

Always reader favorites, her books have appeared on the Waldens bestseller list, along with USA Today.

Susan currently makes her home in Los Angeles, although that could change at a moment's notice. She tends to move around a lot, and has gotten very good at the whole packing and unpacking thing.

Susan is married, and yes, he's the reasons for all the moving. She has two aging but neurotic cats and a small dog. The dog is a relatively recent addition to the family and the cats are seriously unamused.
