Clarissa Mitchell may spend her days with blushing brides, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be one. After an incident in her teens scared her off men, she’s more than happy to accept that love just isn’t in the cards for her. She has good friends, a job she loves, and a harmless cyber crush—what else could a girl need?

Mark Talbot isn’t looking for love, either. Watching his father die young from a condition that might be hereditary cured him of any romantic notions he might’ve had. But when his mother’s impending wedding brings the beautiful and inscrutable Clarissa into his life, he begins to wonder if maybe love isn’t as out of reach as he’d always assumed it was.

With the help of friends, and a romantic trip to an idyllic lakeside town, can Clarissa overcome her painful past to take a shot at happily ever after with the charming attorney? Or is the risk of putting her heart on the line simply too terrifying to consider?

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First off, thanks to Kayne, my hubby, who had to cohabitate with me while I was writing this book. Thank you for tolerating my quirks, supporting me, and believing in me. Thank you for reading the first draft—even though you haven’t read fiction since the Captain Underpants days—and telling me with your unwavering engineer-style logic when something seemed wacky.

Thank you to Mum, Dad, Scott, Shannon, and my extended family for drilling into me from the time I wrote my first story about the adventures of our pet cat, that I can do anything if I set my mind to it. Thanks the years you spent fostering my addiction to books and for reading rough drafts and being founts of enthusiasm.

Lorna C and Carol D, a big thank you for editing and proofreading Summer with the CEO and polishing it until it shone. Thanks to Shannon for making my book pretty!

Thank you to all of the members of Romance Writers of New Zealand who helped me iron out the kinks in my story, and to the SPA Girls for giving me a crash-course in self-publishing. It’s a pleasure to be part of the supportive romance-writing community, which encourages people to believe in themselves.
