Fatal Affair: 1 (Courthouse Connections) (16 page)

Ann Jacobs is a sucker for lusty Alpha heroes and happy
endings, which makes Ellora's Cave an ideal publisher for her work. Romantica®,
to her, is the perfect combination of sex, sensuality, deep emotional
involvement and lifelong commitment — the elusive fantasy women often dream
about but seldom achieve.

First published in 1996, Jacobs has sold over forty books
and novellas, some of which have earned awards including the Passionate Plume
(best novella, 2006), the Desert Rose (best hot and spicy romance, 2004) and
More Than Magic (best erotic romance, 2004). She has been a double finalist in
separate categories of the EPPIES and From the Heart RWA Chapter's contest.
Three of her books have been translated and sold in several European countries.

A CPA and former hospital financial manager, Jacobs now
writes full-time, with the help of Mr. Blue, the family cat who sometimes likes
to perch on the back of her desk chair and lend his sage advice. He sometimes
even contributes a few random letters when he decides he wants to try out the
keyboard. She loves to hear from readers, and to put faces with names at
signings and conventions.

Ann welcomes comments from readers. You can find her website
