Description
A broken truck, a broken career, and a breakup heard around the world land superstar John Tennessee McCord in Hellcat Canyon. Legend has it that hearts come in two colors there: gold or black. And that you can find whatever you're looking for, whether it's love ...or trouble. JT may have found both in waitress Britt Langley. His looks might cause whiplash and weak knees, but Britt sees past JT's rough edge and sexy drawl to a person a lot like her: in need of the kind of comfort best given hot and quick, with clothes off and the lights out. Her wit is sharp but her eyes and heart-not to mention the rest of her-are soft, and JT is falling hard. But Britt has a secret as dark as the hills, and JT's past is poised to invade their present. It's up to the people of Hellcat Canyon to help make sure their future includes a happily ever after. "Julie Anne Long's writing glows with emotional intensity and strong, passionate characterization." JAYNE ANN KRENTZ
Reviews / Votes
"A star herself in the historical-romance world, Long makes a flawless transition into contemporary romance with a wonderfully sweet yet also intensely sexy love story that brilliantly showcases her deliciously sharp sense of humor and rare gift for creating realistically quirky, wonderfully engaging characters." -- Booklist (starred review) "Bestseller Long [...] has a brilliant, quirky style that gives her first contemporary a delightful gleam. Her clever phrases make her small-town setting and characters seem fresh and new. [...] This laugh-out-loud treat is warmly emotional and richly satisfying." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This book is a treat to read. The author's love of wordplay is evident in the snappy dialogue [...] and it's damn sexy. Long's ability to create a love story that leaps off the page is as impressive [...] Let's hope she keeps cranking them out for a long time." -- Kirkus Reviews "Julie Anne Long's books are sexy and adorable!" -- New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jill Shalvis "Julie Anne long is a fantastic writer." -- New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz "Julie Anne Long's writing glows with emotional intensity and strong, passionate characterization." -- New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz Funny, sexy, heartwarming, Long moves seamlessly into the contemporary market. -- New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde Sizzlingly smart! Long's fresh new contemporary voice rocks! -- NYT bestselling author Susan Andersen "This is romantic fantasy at its purest [...] JT and Britt are clever and funny, and the book has all the hallmarks of Long's historical novels - charming secondary characters, delightful dialogue and a sigh-inducing ending." -- Sarah MacLean for the Washington Post, Named one of the Best Romances of Early SummerMore details

Person
USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long originally set out to be a rock star when she grew up (and she has the guitars and fringed clothing stuffed in the back of her closet to prove it), but writing was always her first love. Since hanging up her guitar for the computer keyboard, Julie has penned books that frequently top reader and critic polls and have been nominated for numerous awards, including the RITA(R), Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice, and the Quill, and reviewers have been known to use words like "dazzling," "brilliant," and "impossible to put down" when describing them. Julie lives in Northern California.
