Karen D. Badger, better known to her
online fans as "kd bard," was born in Vermont at the end of the
Hippie era. She is the second of five children and was raised by a divorced
mother, who to this day remains one of her best friends. Karen graduated
from college in 1978 with a B.A. in Drama. Later, she returned to school
and in 1994 earned a B.S. in Mathematics. She currently works as an Engineer
in the semiconductor field, and fills her spare time with writing, family
and friends. Married right after college, Karen worked full time while raising two sons who are now grown. A few years ago, writing became an escape when she underwent a much needed lifestyle change, in the process reinventing herself as an independent woman. In April of 2005, a beautiful baby boy came into her life when her first grandchild was born. Kyren is the apple of his Nona's eye. Karen never looks back: "If you look back, you'll trip over what's in front of you and fall flat on your face!" She looks forward to many fulfilling years of writing and watching her family grow. |

Charland's life is complicated. She's a paralegal by day, an aerobic instructor
in the evening, and a full time parent, so a relationship is the last thing
Billie needs in a life already overly full of commitments. When a hopelessly

that puts a spring back in her step, a sparkle in her eye, and desire in
her heart. Caitlain O'Grady is a prominent anesthesiologist and ER doctor. She doesn't plan on falling, literally, for her aerobics instructor, but her efforts to get to know Billie are hampered by Billie's refusal to go out with her at night. Cat's head tells her that her heart is going to be broken again, but her heart won't let her give up on the enigmatic Ms. Charland. As their lives become more entwined, secrets are revealed that could unravel the fragile love growing between them. Is their relationship strong enough to withstand the strain when Billie's past catches up with her? Can their love survive when they find themselves in a family way? |
