All or Nothing
by Claire Cross

Some people will do anything for true love—even if they have to fake it.

Jen Maitland had no use for handsome guys with easy charm—until she met Zach. He's the perfect fake date to end her mother's matchmaking scheme before it starts. Besides, he'd probably just use her and leave her like her ex-fiancé did. At least that's what Jen tells herself. The only problem is that Zach isn't as predictable as he appears...

Zach Coxwell hates commitment, but loves a challenge. Like the pretty bar waitress who turned him down flat for a date—only to invite him to her family's Thanksgiving dinner. Zach knows he can make Jen smile—and he's betting that he can unravel her mysteries—even if he has to do it over candied yams.

A tofu turkey, a sister who threatens to have Zach's love-child, the untimely appearance of a knitted avocado—and Zach's discovery of her real motive—combine to turn Thanksgiving dinner into Jen's worst nightmare. Zach, on the other hand, has the time of his life.

And when he makes an outrageous promise to Jen's mother, he finally finds a commitment he's willing to take on...

Claire Cross' Bio

Although I've written historical romances for years as Claire Delacroix, I actually started out writing contemporary romances. Those early book manuscripts never sold: I was told repeatedly that they were too "edge-y". I like edge-y so was pretty excited to have the chance to play at Berkley. A friend of mine calls the Coxwells "the world's most dysfunctional family", which just might be true—they certainly are a complicated bunch. Maybe that was why I had so much fun engineering the healing of each one of the four siblings with the power of love. Claire Cross romances are romances, but they nudge a bit at the boundaries of the genre. If you're looking for something different—not your mother's romances—they might just be the thing for you.
