Someone to Love Me

November 15, 2003
Michelle Grant has succeeded in the Dallas real-estate business on much more than her good looks, youth, and seductive outfits. Even with her financial success, Michelle neither has nor wishes to have a serious relationship. She lives with her wheelchair-bound older brother, Nick, who is overprotective and emotionally demanding. When Michelle finally meets her new client, Brad Jamison, she is left speechless. Michelle remembers him kindly from her past because he offered her compassion during a rough time in her life. Now, nine years later, his good looks and great fortune make him all the more attractive, but then they start furiously bidding against one another for a piece of real estate. Each soon must decide whether the relationship is worth more than the property or whether being apart will ease their pain and resolve their impasse. Ray has written another entertaining romance, which includes the added bonuses of a short story and an excerpt from her upcoming novel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2003, American Library Association.)
