Author Information

Bio of Julie Elizabeth Leto

In 1996, Julie Elizabeth Leto retired from teaching, joined her family's manufacturing business and gave herself more time to write. "The call" from Harlequin came in March of 1997 with an offer to publish SEDUCING SULLIVAN, her fourth completed novel. Julie discovered her niche with Temptation's sensuous, sexy tone and character-driven stories. Her desire to "push the envelope" worked even better when Harlequin launched the new Blaze series, longer books that gave her the freedom to explore sensual stories with a more intricate plot. She now writes for both lines, with most of her releases in Blaze.

Bio of Leslie Kelly

Leslie is a stay-at-home mother of three, who started writing as a creative outlet after one too many games of Chutes & Ladders. After meeting a group of other women with a similar interest in writing, she became part of a critique group and started spinning the story of a sexy radio D.J. That book, the first she ever wrote, was purchased off the slush pile by an editor at Harlequin Temptation.

Bio of Kimberly Raye

Kimberly Raye is the USA Today bestselling author of more than forty novels, including her newest Dead and Dateless, featuring a vivacious vampire matchmaker, lots of bad dates and a killer desperate for revenge. She has been nominated for several Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Awards, as well as a prestigious RITA award, Romance Writers of America's highest award of excellence. Her books have been featured in several major magazines, including Better Homes & Gardens and Glamour, and her novel Sometimes Naughty, Sometimes Nice was a Cosmopolitan magazine book club pick. She lives deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country with her husband and their young children. You can visit Kim on-line at www.kimberlyraye.com or at http://www.myspace.com/kimberlyrayebooks

Excerpt from: Boys of Summer by Julie Elizabeth Leto

"TELL ME AGAIN why you divorced him?"

Callie Andrews held her gaze steady on the reservations computer, not needing to look up to see who had crossed the polished brass threshold of Diamond, the only four-star restaurant in Louisville's sports-entertainment district. She'd only divorced one man in her twenty-nine-year life and no one her starry-eyed waitresses, fawning busboys or unflappable matreyd' could understand why she'd dismissed such a prime cut of a man. No one seemed able to comprehend how the marriage of a sharp-minded beauty like herself from the wrong side of the tracks and the wealthy Prince Charming from the castle on the hill couldn't have been glorious together the stuff of romance novels and fairy tales. And even after six years since the ink on the legal papers had dried, Callie didn't have the heart, or the stomach, to explain.

Again.

Instead, she gave her hostess a sharp, humorless grin and gestured toward the computer screen so her employee could forget about Callie's ex-husband and call the next group to dine.

With a haughty roll of her eyes, the hostess grabbed a stack of menus and stalked away. Taking a fortifying breath, Callie looked up, expecting to see Donovan Ross strolling up to her, shaking hands, signing autographs and posing for pictures, as if he were the star player of the Louisville Slammers baseball team rather than the team's owner. But instead, she watched as the crowd spilled from the bar and waiting area to close in on him. A loud crowd. An angry crowd.

Callie instantly ducked around the gleaming reproduction of the Slammers' World Series trophy and barreled through the tightening throng. Though Donovan looked as unflappable as ever in his crisp burgundy polo, finely cut blazer, worn, scruffy jeans and two-thousand dollar boots, the man jabbing his finger mere inches from her ex-husband's face was not so cool.

Callie did a double take.

The man taking her ex to task was the normally soft-spoken, even-tempered mayor.

Callie slipped between the two men. "Mayor Davidson. Party of three, yes? I'm afraid your usual table won't be available for a while, so I'd like you to take my private table, if that's all right with you?"

Her gregarious tone, gentle but firm touch and subtle scans around the room broke through the mayor's bluster.

"Callie, yes that would be lovely."
