He pushed the handle down, opened the door, and stepped into the room. Aiden felt the shock hit him. A young woman, in her late twenties or early thirties, stood behind a large desk. Her feminine, floral spring dress might have been too casual for office wear, except for the blue linen blazer she wore over it.

“He” was a “she.” Fitzgerald was a woman. And a beautiful one at that. Aiden grappled visibly with his surprise. He had assumed something entirely different.

About the Author

photo by James Peterson

Linda Cunningham grew up a small town country girl, and it is here where she’s still most comfortable. She has written steadily throughout the years, although usually other people’s speeches, articles, and grants, primarily for medical and agricultural trade journals. Now that her three children are grown, Linda is writing full time and writing the stuff she loves—Romance!

Linda lives in a romantic stone house in the Green Mountain State of Vermont, surrounded by her gardens and animals which include horses, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, a parakeet, goldfish and the wild visitors who tiptoe through on a regular basis. When time permits, she also enjoys cooking, sketching, and painting.
