PARTY OF THREE Available January 2006

PARTY OF THREE

Ally Cummings may be the only " normal " one in her family, but her love life is anything but. No sooner does she find a stable, secure, predictable guy than she wants out. She ' s through with romance until she can figure out what kind of man is right for her.

Certainly not her new tenant, Ben Gillard, who is the exact opposite of everything Ally 's looking for. Suits him just fine. He ' s sworn off a social life so he can be a full-time dad to his twelve-year-old-son, Danny. And he doesn't need any more women " organizing " his life, especially not the uptight and prim Ally.

It ' s agreed, platonic friends is as far as this will go. Except it ' s not just his skill with a sauté pan that ' s creating the sizzle between them...

Single Father -- Sometimes he gets things right. Sometimes he needs a little help...

Dear Reader,

Just as food nourishes the body, so does love nourish the soul. In Party of Three Chef Ben Gillard seduces Ally Cummings with food and nourishes her with love. Gradually she rediscovers her passion for life and in doing so opens up a whole new life for Ben and his son, Danny.

I had a ball writing this book. I was given the opportunity to observe the inner workings of a restaurant kitchen, take part in an olive harvest and spend a romantic weekend in the country with my husband, all in the name of research.

Party of Three takes place in a resort town in my adopted country of Australia. It was a pure pleasure for me to use a local setting. So make yourself something good to eat, pull up a chair and have a few laughs with Ally and Ben.

I love to hear from readers. You can write to me at P.O. Box 234, Point Roberts, WA 98281-0234 or visit me online at www.joankilby.com

Yours sincerely,
Joan Kilby
