About this item
Publishers WeeklyGail DeMarco is handling the biggest PR campaign of her career: rehabilitate the reputation of one Simon O'Neal, the biggest movie star in the U.S. Simon has been on a downward spiral since his divorce, getting into fights, womanizing, and drinking heavily. He hits rock bottom when a judge rules him morally corrupt and bars him from visiting his son. The publicity stunt for Simon to marry a woman with a wholesome image was Gail's idea, but she didn't expect to be cast in the starring role. She's even more surprised to fall in love with the sensitive man he hides beneath the dissolute facade. Simon originally dislikes Gail, but when she takes him to Whiskey Creek, Calif., a small town far away from Hollywood's temptations, he discovers her passion, loyalty, and sweetness.
About the Author
Brenda Novak Bio
It was a shocking experience that jump-started Brenda Novak's career as a bestselling author--she caught her day-care provider drugging her children with cough syrup to get them to sleep all day. That was when Brenda decided she needed to quit her job as a loan officer and help make a living from home.
"When I first got the idea to become a novelist, it took me five years to teach myself the craft and finish my first book," Brenda says. But she sold that book, and the rest is history. Her novels have made the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists and won many awards, including five Rita nominations, the Book Buyer's Best, the Book Seller's Best and the National Reader's Choice Award.
Brenda and her husband, Ted, live in Sacramento and are proud parents of five children--three girls and two boys. When she's not spending time with her family or writing, Brenda is usually raising funds for diabetes research (her youngest son has this disease) . So far, Brenda has raised $2.5 million.
