Do Me a Favor

Cathy Yardley, author of Role Playing, serves up a delectable rom-com about a widowed cookbook writer and a divorced handyman who find that it's never too late for a fresh start.

Willa Lieu-Endicott moved from California to the Pacific Northwest to start over. Since her husband's death, she's been struggling to get back her old career as a cookbook ghostwriter. Unfortunately, her latest project--ghostwriting for a viral cooking sensation known more for his washboard abs than his meals--has her stuck.

Until she meets her new neighbor.

Hudson Clark, the handyman next door, lives on a farm with his parents and two adult children. He's the opposite of everything she's ever known. His happily chaotic life includes biker barbecues, an escape artist dog, and adorably menacing goats. He's also got a sinfully sexy smile and a rumbling bass voice that makes her shiver. He inspires her.

From their first meeting, the two fall into an escalating cycle of favors, paybacks...and attraction, even though Willa's trying to keep her distance.

They both have their own pasts to deal with. Now, they just have to figure out if they have a future.

Cathy Yardley is an award-winning author of romance and chick lit. She has sold more than 1.2 million books with publishers like St. Martin's Press, Avon Books, and Harlequin. She writes fun, geeky, and diverse characters who believe that underdogs can make good and that sometimes being a little wrong is just right. She likes writing about quirky, crazy adventures because she's had plenty of her own: she had her own army in the Society for Creative Anachronism, she's spent New Year's on a three-day solitary vision quest in the Mojave Desert, and she had VIP access to the Viper Room in Los Angeles. Now, she spends her time writing in the wilds of eastern Washington, trying to prevent her son from learning the truth about any of said adventures, and riding herd on her two dogs (and one husband).
