Something Reckless (21 page)

JESS MICHAELS
always flips through every romance she buys in search of “the good stuff,” so it makes perfect sense that she writes erotic romance where she gets to turn up the heat on that good stuff and let it boil. She loves alpha males, long-haired cats (and short-haired ones), the last breath right before a passionate kiss, and the color purple (not the movie, though, that’s excellent, too, the actual color). She firmly believes that Cadbury Creme Eggs should be available all year round and not count against any diet.

Jess loves to hear from readers. You can find her online at
