The best
part of working in the computer field was meeting her husband. He took up
skiing and she helped him document his computer inventions! They live in
"Silicon Valley" in California where their favorite thing to do is
cook together for friends. Nia’s specialties are dessert and veggies while her
husband’s are entrees and sourdough bread.
Their
only pet at the moment is the sourdough starter, which lives in the fridge and
requires bi-weekly feeding.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Ally Tobin left New York after one too many bad
dates, determined to rebuild a stable life and career as a private investigator
in Silicon Valley. But when the man she knew as one name walks into her office
with another, will her curiosity once again lead her to risk her heart?
The last thing Special Agent Jared Green needs is "security risk" stamped on the resume of his latest undercover identity. Especially by the woman his job forced him to leave in New York without any explanation. She may threaten his cover, but it's his heart on the line.
He's good at playing a part. She's good at catching a fake. Can they trust enough to give love another chance?

AN EXCERPT
He
sauntered through the door, a white, button- down shirt tucked into belted
khakis. When his dark gaze found her, he stopped. Stared. Her throat dried and
a rustling motion stirred in her abdomen.
“Hi.
I’m Darren Ray.”
Keep your cool, she commanded
herself, standing and reaching across the desk. His hand was rough.
She
yanked her hand back and waved at the chair. “Please, have a seat.” He waited
for her to sit before settling in the visitor’s chair. “So, Darren, according
to this, you’re being considered for a programmer position in the IT
department. Tell me about your background.”
A
professional mask settled over his features. “As you can see on my résumé, I
have several years of consulting experience.”
“Tell
me something about your experience as a mechanic.” Working on his prized old
Mustang had been a favorite hobby.
The
corner of his mouth twitched. “What do you mean? That’s not in my résumé.”
“You
don’t have the hands of a programmer. More of a mechanic.” Oh, his hands.
“Okay,
you got me.” He was going to confess. This should be good. “When I’m not
programming computers I’m working on my car.”
“And
what were you doing in New York City?”
He reached across her desk for a piece of paper, plucked a pen from its
stand and scrawled something. When she
took the note their fingers brushed. Meet
me for dinner at Pico’s at 7. I’ll explain everything. Can’t talk here.
