WOOING JENNY
Jenny Lavoie's and Sam Stone's parents decree they must marry one another or be disinherited. Jenny has loved Sam for as long as she can remember so that shouldn't be a problem except that Sam is engaged to the outlandish, motorcycle riding Katie and has no interest in marrying Jenny.
Almost. Sam doesn't want to lose the company his grandfather worked so hard to build, so he decides to marry Jenny and conduct a sham of a marriage for the three years it takes to satisfy his parents' ridiculous demands, dump Jenny, and marry Katie. It should be easy enough as Jenny's followed him around since she was sixteen and she's easy on the eyes.
But Sam is flabbergasted when Jenny refuses to marry him now and doesn't care if she's disinherited. He finds himself having to woo her, including whisking her away to a very romantic vacation on Fiji's sunny beaches, which threatens to alienate his real fiance, and threatens his heart he thought he knew so well.
SHIPWRECKED
Katie McLaughlin has had it with rich, spoiled men. She never wants to see that betrayer Sam Stone or another rich man again. Ever! Desperate to get off Fiji and away from Sam and his new fiance, she charters a boat to take her to the island with the nearest airport but winds up shipwrecked on a deserted South Pacific island instead.
To Katie's utter dismay, not only is she shipwrecked without any form of communication device, she's shipwrecked with only the boat's captain, Scott Vanderhorne, whose family is twice, maybe thrice, as rich as Sam's family. She decides the fates hate her when Scott tells her he's engaged.
Katie can barely stand to talk to Scott, and Scott doesn't like to be cast in the role of villain merely because he's rich. But they soon realize that class distinction has no bearing in their private, tropical paradise, and they're forced to rely on one another to survive.
Elaine Hopper fell in love with love and writing when she watched her first Superman show and longed to be a writer with her very own super hero. She took a long, windy road to her goal, serving inthe Air Force, working her way through college as a waittress, and then earned an accounting degree and MBA. Alas, accounting was not Elaine's dream thus she began writing romance after work and on weekends, in her spare time, after her five children and husband settled down for the night. Elaine sold her first novel, TIGERS PLAY TOO ROUGH, to New Concepts Publishing after meeting Madris Guitterez at her local RWA conference in South Florida. Since then, Elaine has sold five more romance novels to New Concepts, for a total of 16 contracted books, including WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get, a 2001 Eppie Finalist in the Inspirational Romance category, and NEXT TO FOREVER, a Frankfurt Ebook Awards Nominee. Elaine enjoys playing with her children and her grandson, swimming at her gym, bowling, reading, watching movies, cuddling her cats, and of course - writing!
