Susan Kay Law
A former science geek, Susan Kay Law turned to romance writing as a career because it was the perfect excuse to avoid housework and continue spending all her time doing what she really loved: reading and daydreaming. Also because she was really bad at sitting in a swamp at 5 a.m. in 40-degree weather and tracking bird behavior.Winner of the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award and a Waldenbooks Bestseller award—and twice nominated for a RITA Award—she confesses that the biggest surprise of her career was when this small town Midwestern preacher's kid was named to New Woman magazine's list of "the steamiest writers of women's fiction." Her greatest joy, however, is spending her days thoroughly outnumbered by four of the best males on the planet: her husband and three sons. She currently lives in Minnesota, and plans to be a ski bum in her next life.
Late summer held the town of Maple Falls in a sweltering grip.

Just sex
Ellen Markham, a Minnesota housewife, just got handed the dream of half of the wives in America-her husband told her to have an affair. With her CEO husband, her kids, and her house keeping her busy, passion was never Ellen's first priority. But somehow her husband managed to make time in his schedule for it-with other women. Now he wants Ellen to believe that his reckless liaisons were nothing more than "just sex." In fact, he's so desperate to prove his point that he's challenged her to find out for herself. After so many years, Ellen is hauling out her rusty flirting skills and following her free-spirited best friend into a world she thought she'd left behind at the altar. She might not have any more faith in this marriage, but she's about to find some in herself-and what starts out as "just sex" might end up being a second chance to find something better.
