Return of the Bad Girl
Synopsis:
Bad girls don't forgive.
Bad girls don't forget.
Bad girls don't fall in love.
Caroline Willis may be known for causing trouble, but she is NOT about to become homeless. So when she learns that her perfect apartment has been double-booked—to a dangerously hot bad boy—Caroline's bad-girl reputation comes out in full force. He may be sexy as sin, but she's not afraid of him … or his panty-melting smile.
Rock Canyon's got room for only one bad attitude—and Gabe Moriarty was here first. Still, starting over means playing it smart, so while sharing his new apartment is less than ideal, it's worth getting his dream business off the ground. Not to mention that it means shacking up with a sexy wild child. Caroline may be giving him the cold shoulder, but Gabe always was good at starting fires …
Caroline vows to keep things professional with Gabe, but as close quarters begin to ignite the sizzling chemistry between them, she's left wondering: Bad boy plus bad girl equals nothing but trouble … right?

About the Author:
From the time I could put a Disney Book cassette into my little stereo,and read along, books have held a fantastic distraction. When I was eleven, I decided I wanted to be one of those magical people that brought stories to life. Devouring a book a day sometimes, my first romance novel stuck with me. I've always been a sucker for a happy ending (and the great romantic gesture)and that's what I try to put into my stories. I am so honored to be a part of Avon, and am so excited to have my own dreams coming true.

Return of the Bad
Girl: A Play List
Music
has always been a huge part of my writing process, and can inspire a scene or
an action from one of my characters. For The Trouble with Sexy, Gloriana’s Kiss You Goodnight was a HUGE
inspiration. Whitney Duncan was a serious factor in Things Good Girls Don’t Do
and Lady Antebellum helped create the back story for Travis and Gemma of Good
Girls Don’t Date Rock Stars. Jacob’s
Ladder by Mark Wills was the centric theme for Bad Girls Don’t Marry
Marines, so it was really no surprise that as I wrote Return of the Bad Girl, I
was pulling songs from the radio to make up my playlist.

Take You Home by Thomas Rhett

So, several of the songs on this
playlist (I.E. 4 and 10) set up the back ground and gossip running rampant
about Gabe and Caroline, in part thanks to Miss Know It All. Sometimes the
attitudes and antics of the towns people surprise even me, but they are oh, so
fun! Especially the dreaded Mrs. Andrews. (Shudder). Then there are the angsty ones
like 2, 3, 5, and 17. These songs help me through Caroline and Gabe fighting
their feelings and the inevitable screw up by both of them, because true love
never did run smooth, right? The fun/funny songs like 6, 9, and 14, helped me
during character development and those funny interactions between friends and
the h/h that make me smile and sometimes even laugh out loud. (Caroline is the
anti-girl in a country song and if you’ve never seen the video, you have to
check it out!) Show You Off #13 inspired one of my
favorite lines in the book, but I won’t give away what it was. J
But my favorite song on this
playlist is Jana Kramer’s Love (#7). Caroline is a cynic who has never been in
love and Gabe believes he doesn’t deserve it. This song gave me the inspiration
for their Happily Ever After (because they have to end up together right?)
I hope you enjoy my Return of the
Bad Girl Spodify Playlist!
