Author: Charlotte Hughes
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Book Description:
With a
hurricane closing in on Temptation, Louisiana, Michelle Thurston fails to
convince her stubborn grandmother to leave her home on the bayou. Sheriff Gator
Landry arrives by boat, hell-bent on forcing the elderly recluse to evacuate.
He is stunned to find Michelle, who was just 16 years old when he courted her
one steamy summer.
Now, at
32, Michelle comes face-to-face with the man whose kisses tempted her to lose
control, only this time there is no place to run. Although Gator is not about
to leave the two women defenseless, Michelle can’t help but wonder if he is
more dangerous to her than anything the storm can do.

Excerpt
“We need to get out of these wet
things,” Michelle said, crossing her arms in front of her in an attempt to hide
herself. She shivered as Gator continued to stare. He still had the power to
make her body go berserk when he looked at her that way. Those glittering black
eyes didn’t miss a thing. It was as though he were capable of seeing past flesh
and bone to her inner workings, all of which shook at the moment as violently
as the tree limbs outside the window. She was certain he knew what that look
did to her. He had it down to an art. And if it had had a powerful effect on
her at sixteen, it was doubly so now at thirty-two.
“That’s the best idea I've heard all
day," Gator said, shrugging out of his shirt. He mopped his brow and chest
with it and ran it across the back of his neck.
Michelle wondered if he had any idea
how sensual that simple act was. He was all rippling muscles and taut flesh.
Goose pimples stood out on his shoulders and his nipples puckered from the
chill in the room. His arms were lean and as brown as the rest of him. The room
seemed to shrink to the size of a shoe box. Michelle had seen enough male
bodies in her job to know that the one before her was one of the best she’d
ever laid eyes on.
Gator would have had to be blind not
to notice her perusal. The grin he shot her was brazen. “Like what you see,
Mic?”
About the Author
Charlotte Hughes published her first category romance in 1987, a Bantam Books’ Loveswept, titled Too Many Husbands, which immediately shot to #1 on the Waldenbooks Bestseller list. She went on to write almost thirty books before the line closed in 1998.
Although Charlotte is widely known for her laugh-out-loud romantic comedies, she went on to pen three Maggie-Award winning thrillers for Avon Books in the late nineties, before resuming her first love, funny stories about people falling in love. She thrilled readers with her hilarious books, A New Attitude and Hot Shot, the latter of which won the Waldenbooks Greatest Sales Growth Achievement in 2003.
Her books received so many accolades that she was invited to co-author the very popular Full House series with mega-star author Janet Evanovich.
With that series behind her, Charlotte began her own, starring psychologist Kate Holly; What Looks Like Crazy, Nutcase, and High Anxiety, creating a list of somewhat kooky but always loveable and funny ensemble characters.

What do you consider to be your best accomplishment?
ReplyDeleteMy greatest accomplishment with regard to writing was my Kate Holly (Crazy) series. I loved writing it. But in all honesty, my greatest accomplishment has little to do with writing. It's all about family and being there for them when they need me.
