KRISTIN HARDY

has always wanted to write, starting her first novel while still at school. Although she became a laser engineer by training, she never gave up her dream of being an author.

Kristin lives in New Hampshire with her husband and collaborator. Check out her website at www.kristinhardy.com. Under the Mistletoe, the second book in Kristin’s HOLIDAY HEARTS mini-series, was nominated for a RITA® Award for Best Long Contemporary.

Dear Reader,

Sometimes books go together as you expect, and sometimes you wind up with characters that are so feisty, they do what they like, whether you want them to or not. So it was with Lainie Trask and downhill ski racer JJ Cooper. I had plans for Lainie when I first tucked her into Where There’s Smoke, the first book of the HOLIDAY HEARTS books. She was supposed to meet the South Shore lawyer of a series that I’m cooking up that takes place in Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. I figured Lainie would be the tie from HOLIDAY HEARTS to the new books so that we could keep visiting with the Trask family for another year.

Then JJ walked on stage in Under the Mistletoe and that was that. The chemistry between Lainie and him formed spontaneously in the air, like steam – all I did was write it down. Of course, they pretty much demanded that I give them their own book, and they weren’t about to take no for an answer. I guess the Cape Cod lawyer will have to find a woman of his own, because Lainie is…well, read on and find out.

And when you get done, drop me a line at kristinhardy.com. I’d love to hear what you think.

Happy reading.
