In Love by
Design welcomes you back to Northfield, Minnesota and the life of Anabel
Axelrod.
Its official--the
sexy, blonde bookstore owner with a sassy attitude, a brain that never stops,
and a reluctant penchant for helping her family and friends out of trouble has
fallen madly in love.
Anabel
doesn't get to prove what a fabulous girlfriend she'll make for more than eight
hours before Luke disappears out of town. Instead of getting to enjoy being a
girl passionately in love, Anabel’s shiny new feelings and trust in her
boyfriend are immediately being tested.
Who is the
darkly powerful and charismatic Luke Drake? What are his secrets? Does he
really love Anabel, or has he been manipulating her to further an intricate
plan of cold revenge in the making for over twenty years?
This third
book in the series finds the confident Anabel desperately needing her sense of
humor and all her understanding of human nature to deal with life. But Anabel
soon learns the hard way she has even bigger issues to worry about than family
problems and an incredibly hot, but very tricky boyfriend.
Meet Tracy Ellen…
For all of my life, I’ve always had a thing for shoes that make
me say “Oh, yum!” and for reading romance novels written about hot, dangerously
smart men and sassy, intelligent women. It’s not an exaggeration to say I’ve
avidly read everything I could get my greedy little hands on to find these
jewels.
One day this past year or so, I realized that I spend more money
on books now than I do on shoes--and I was stunned. Should I be ashamed of this
fact or proud? Then an even stranger thing happened. It was like a switch
turned off/on inside me. All of a sudden instead of wanting to read about
diabolically sexy men, I wanted to write my own story of the
building hot romance between a lippy, confident woman and a gorgeously
mysterious man.
So began my budding writing career. Then I made another happy
discovery—I absolutely love writing and still have a thing for shoes! Since
then, my self-published books include A Date with Fate and Courted
by Karma in The Adventures of Anabel Axelrod series. The third book in
the series, In Love by Design will be released in September
2013.
For those of you who may want to know some pertinent facts: I
was born in Indiana to middle-class parents, the third out of five hellions. My
mother wanted to go to work every day. I’ve always lived in
the Midwest, except for six steamy months in Florida when I was nineteen.
Currently, I reside in the suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota with my family. The
college town of Northfield featured in Anabel’s Adventures is just down the
road a jaunt.
