RUTHIE KNOX writes contemporary romance that’s sexy, witty, and angsty—sometimes all three at once! She debuted as a romance novelist with Ride with Me—probably the only existing cross-country bicycling love story—and followed it up with About Last Night, which was a finalist for the Romance Writers of America’s RITA award. Her third story, the Christmas novella Room at the Inn, was also a RITA finalist. Making It Last is the fourth installment in her Camelot series and the last of the romantic adventures of the Clark siblings of Camelot, Ohio. Ruthie moonlights as a mother, Tweets incessantly, and bakes a mean focaccia.

idden desire like Stacey Kane’s scorching e-original CLAIMED, a sizzling small town romance like Elisabeth Barrett’s fourth e-original Star Harbor book, SLOW SUMMER BURN, or an electrifying story featuring hockey hunks like Toni Aleo’s contemporary e-original BLUE LINES … it’s a wonderful feeling to be transported to a new and exciting world … especially one filled with sexy heroes and vibrant heroines. Pick up these reads and lose yourself in romance and love.

Flirting with Disaster

Chapter One

“Yes,” Katie said, gripping the steering wheel harder. “Uh-huh, yes, I get it.” She glanced in the rearview mirror, signaled left, and changed lanes. The traffic was getting thicker as they approached Louisville.

Her brother kept talking, his voice robbed of its customary power by the cheap speakers of her cell phone, which sat in a cup-holder mount and broadcast Caleb’s warnings upward at her head. “If you have the slightest indication that there’s danger attached to this threat, you’re going to call me, and—”

“Yesssssss,” she droned.

The drama was wasted on Caleb, who was going to give her this lecture for the seventeenth time whether she wanted to hear it or not.
