Bring Out Your Dead (14 page)

What husbands?
I smiled into his head and let myself relax on
the solid body beneath me, warm, contented, and for the first time
in I don’t remember how many centuries, truly happy.

ABOUT KATIE

For as long as she can remember,
Katie MacAlister has loved reading. Growing up in a family where a
weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her
time with her nose buried in a book. Despite her love for novels,
she didn’t think of writing them until she was contracted to write
a non-fiction book about software. Since her editor refused to
allow her to include either witty dialogue or love scenes in the
software book, Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, where
she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and
falling madly in love with all her heroes.

Two years after she started
writing novels, Katie sold her first romance, Noble Intentions.
More than thirty books later, her novels have been translated into
numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several
awards, and are regulars on the New York Times, USA Today, and
Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young
adult audience as Katie Maxwell.

Katie lives in the Pacific
Northwest with her husband and dogs, and can often be found lurking
around online.
