First and foremost, FORTUNE S CHILDREN is about a

family. A big, adventurous, larger-than-life and very

American family. A family with ~a loving, powerful,

matchmaking woman at its head. What fun, I thought,

when my editor offered me the opportunity to write one

of the twelve books in the series. I love to write about

families. So I was hooked

But there was more: an ongoing mystery revolving

around that loving, powerful, matchmaking woman at the

head of the family.

And then my editor told me about the other authors who d

be participating: really terrific award-winning, top-selling

authors. I d be in such good company.

And best of all, my own contribution to the series would

include a sexy single dad, an adorable lost little boy, a

Saint Bernard dog with a heart as big as Lake S~aperior--

and a woman on the verge of a whole new life.

I mean, honestly. How could I resist?

I couldn t. And I didn t. And it s been every bit as much

fun as I thought it would be.

I hope you enjoy Wife Wanted, too--as well as all the
