Open Invitation?

By Karen Kendall

When cowboy Dan Granger hires etiquette diva Lilia London for a crash course in manners, she has no idea what she's getting into. His twang and his rough manners are foreign to the well-bred Lilia. Still, she's determined to polish him.

Her task would be much easier if Dan wasn't so mouthwatering--the six-pack riding above his belt alone is enough to make her mix up her forks. And when he offers to teach her his own theory of sexual etiquette--Uncivilization 101--how can she resist?

But is a sensual trip into hedonism enough to counteract a lifetime of proper behavior? As Lilia's professionalism reasserts itself, she realizes she has to let her sexy Texan go...unless she can convince herself to do an advanced degree in Uncivilization.

Karen Kendall

Karen Kendall is the author of many disasters and nine romantic comedies. She grew up in Austin, Texas, and credits her early interest in writing to several teachers and her mother, a professor of comparative literature. A graduate of Smith College, Karen studied the mysteries of modern and contemporary art before enrolling in a masters program in Museum Education, with the aim of teaching children about art. She worked for several museums and galleries before following her lifelong dream and completing a novel. She was first published in 2001, and since then her books have been finalists for the Holt Medallion (3 times), the Bookseller's Best and the Madcap Award for romantic comedy. Karen is still a big fan of children's art, but she now writes full time and lives in Florida with her husband, Don, and attack-cat Boo, who turns up her nose at chicken and fish but adores asparagus and mint-chocolate-chip ice cream. Karen loves reader mail even more than chocolate and typing "The End" on a manuscript!
