Kiss & Tell

Kiss & Tell
Alison Kent

Miranda Kelly has a secret. Or two.Relentlessly hounded by the bloodthirsty media since her bitter—and very public—divorce, Miranda retreats to the sanctuary of her old hometown. She also returns to an old passion—donning daring costumes at night to transform into Candy Cane, singer extraordinaire at the Club Crimson!When Caleb McGregor is seduced by the sultry swing of Candy's hips, Miranda loses herself and her troubles in Caleb's arms. But Caleb is keeping a big secret of his own. And when Miranda discovers the cruel truth, she can't ever return to his bed. Not even for the most earthshaking sex she's ever experienced. . .

Dear Reader,

I am a pop culture junkie. Not an addict, mind you. Or overly obsessive. I do love hearing who has landed plum movie roles, finding out what television series are canceled or renewed, seeing unexpected guest stars show up on network TV, etc. But I don’t wait for news on celebrity Starbucks sightings, or even care much about the love lives of the stars. Still, I know that’s not the case with everyone.

Funnily enough, I created the character of Caleb McGregor—aka Max Savage—long before stalkarazzi shows were as popular as they now are, but I’m glad I waited until the age of You Tube and TMZ to write his romance with Miranda Kelly, aka Candy Cane. Having one of them dreading the impending bombardment of the media and making the other one an expert at doing the bombarding made the story great fun to write.

I hope you get a kick out of Caleb and Miranda as they kiss and tell, kiss and don’t tell, then don’t kiss and tell some more! You can e-mail me at ak@alisonkent.com to let me know if you do. Stop by my blog at www.alisonkent.com/blog to visit with other readers and lovers of Harlequin Blaze, and to win all sorts of books and fun prizes. I’ll see you again in March 2009, when I’ll be hitting the track for Blaze’s 0—60 miniseries.

All my best,

Alison Kent
