Just how committed is he?
There is nothing Christina Roman loves more than being a mom. Although working as the chef at her family's inn, Ladera by the Sea, is a close second. And a quickly rising third is Shane McCallister, the local contractor. After her husband's tragic soldier's death, Cris thought she would never be able to move on. But with the way Shane bonds with her five-year-old son, she might be persuaded.... Except then her in-laws sue her for custody of Ricky. Now facing every mother's worst nightmare, she'll do anything not to lose her child, and Shane is determined to help. Could her sister's Christmas wedding be their inspiration?
Born in West Germany, arrived in the U.S. at four, I began
writing when I was eleven. I began selling many years after
that. Along the way, I acquired a Masters in Shakespearean
Comedy from Queens College in N.Y, a husband and two kids
(in that order)---the dog came later.
My first romance was bought by Second Chance
At Love November of 1981. The road from there to here has a
hundred and thirty-seven more sales to it. I've been
published by Silhouette, Harlequin, Zebra, Harper, Bantam
and Berkeley. I've been fortunate enough to have
received several Rita nominations from the Romance Writers
of America Association over the years, with one win for
Father Goose (in the Traditional Romance Category).
I've also been nominated several times in various
categories by Romantic Times Magazine. I hope to be
found one day---many, many years from now---slumped
over my computer, writing to the last moment. But before
then, I would dearly love to write a successful screenplay.
My goal has always been to entertain.
Entertainment Weekly 2015 named me the fifth most
prolific romance author of all time---and I have since
moved up to the fourth position, having published 296 works.
