The author of the Essence & Black Expressions best-seller My Invisible Husband is back with her fifth novel – His Invisible Wife.

REVENGE…LUST…HOLY MATRIMONY

Texas businessman Jacob “Jake” Banks is about to lose his business and everything else he’s worked for until his uncle dies and leaves him as the executor of his estate–only catch is, he has to marry and marry a specific woman in order to cash in on the inheritance. Big problem, since Jake has vowed to be a bachelor for life.

Brianna Mayfield is at her last rope. Her father lost his business due to Jake’s uncle turning down a loan. She’s convinced this caused her father to fall into a deep depression. She blames the Banks and vows to pay them back one day. When she sees an ad in the paper for a job at her self-proclaimed enemy’s company, she feels her luck is turning around. She applies and is later approached by Jake with a proposition she can’t turn down.

His Invisible Wife can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com. It will be in stores in July.

Yesterday I received an email from Tzynya. Words can’t express the joy I felt as I read her blog post. I had to share it with you all:

Just in time for the summer reading schedule, Vol. 1 The Ultimate Test, arrived at our door a few days ago and my daughter has had her face buried in it since.
“The first chapter is very good.” She said of The Ultimate Test, grabbing a pencil to make notes in her pink floral notebook. To read the entire post, go to: http://warmprettythings.blogspot.com/2009/05/summer-reading-kicks-off-with-ultimate.html
