Once Smitten / Twice Shy
by Darlene Gardner

Once Smitten by Darlene Gardner
That's who Jack Carter is to Zoe O'Neill — the one who got away. Sure, she denies it, but Zoe must contact her onetime college crush just to prove her point. However, Jack's got his own point to prove — he may be one hot jock, but he strikes out potential mates before the fourth date. Now he's determined to break the streak...with Zoe!

Twice Shy by Darlene Gardner
That's who Matt Burke and Amy Donatelli are to each other — the ones who never left. Since their friend Zoe found true love, these two best buds are on their own for the very first time. How will such a workaholic lawyer and a free spirit ever get together? Easy — someone's suing the free spirit, so it's full steam ahead for this duo!

Darlene Gardner's Bio

Darlene Gardner worked as a sportswriter for years before realizing she'd rather make up quotes than hope some athlete would say something interesting.

After writing books about festering small-town secrets and babies switched at birth, she had another realization: Writing romantic comedy would be a whole lot more fun. She's been concentrating on the lighter side of love ever since.

Darlene graduated from Penn State, grew up in the Pittsburgh area and worked for daily newspapers in Charleston (S.C.) and Fort Lauderdale. She now writes fiction full time and lives in Northern Virginia with her journalist husband and two children.
