BARBARA BOSWELL

loves writing about families. “I guess family has been a big influence on my writing,” she says. “I particularly enjoy writing about how my characters’ family relationships affect them.”

When Barbara isn’t writing and reading, she’s spending time with her own family—her husband, three daughters and three cats, whom she concedes are the true bosses of their home! She has lived in Europe, but now makes her home in Pennsylvania. She collects miniatures and holiday ornaments, tries to avoid exercise and has somehow found the time to write over twenty category romances.

“I was told to look for the Paradise Outdoors sign at the gate. I’m Ash. . .”

“You’re Asher Carey?” Flint Paradise stared at the dark-haired, dark-eyed young woman standing before him and the sign he held, Paradise Outdoors, spelled out in bold black letters.

“Ihat can’t be right,” he replied to his own question.

Asher was definitely a male name, wasn’t it? Of course, these days, who knew? But she had to be in her twenties, and in the decade she’d been born in, parents had sensibly reserved masculine names for boys. Hadn’t they?

“No, my name is Ashlinn and. . .”

“I figured you weren’t Asher Carey.” Flint was relieved. It was imperative that she not be. He was here at the Sioux Falls airport to meet the flight of Asher Carey, the writer for Tour & Travel magazine, the male writer booked for the two-week Paradise Outdoors Company expedition.

“I’m from Tour & Travel magazine in New York, here for the Paradise Outdoors expedition,” she interjected.

This couldn’t be! Flint urgently flipped through the papers affixed to his clipboard. The name Asher Carey headed one sheet.

“See, here it is. Asher.” Flint showed her the paper, pointing at the name. “He’s the one booked on the trip.”
