Looking for:A wife and mother for my children.

The Yellow Rose Matchmakers claimed to be able to match any woman with her Mr. Right. And Emily couldn't deny that the man she'd been matched with, Cody James, sounded perfect–on paper, at least.

The reality was even better–the tall, sexy cowboy took Emily Kirkwood's breath away. Too bad that Emily hadn't joined the Yellow Rose to find a man but to write a Valentine's story on…well…how to get a man. Only, Cody was available… and perhaps what this story needed was a little in-depth research!

About the author

Ruth Jean Dale writes humour because there's too much angst in her life already. She resides in a Colorado pine forest with one husband (the original), one dog (a 10-pound Maltese named Spike), and two cats (Thom and Patches). Her favourite things are writing and laughing (and champagne). Published with Harlequin since 1989, she's written more than two dozen books for Romance, Superromance, Temptation, Duets, Love and Laughter, Historical, and novellas for both Harlequin and St. Martin's. If she had any spare time, which she doesn't, she'd spend it at her Pfaff 7570 sewing machine embroidering toilet paper and other such worthwhile projects.
