Taming Teddy

Teddy: If there''s one thing I don''t do, it''s commitment. You don''t become an award-winning photographer by staying in one place. I''m always on the road, looking for the next shot, the next award, the next hot body. Which is how I end up on Dr. James Marian''s front porch in the middle-of-nowhere Alaska. He''s known as the Wildlife Whisperer, and I want to photograph him in action. He''s reluctant at first, but I can be persuasive.

Soon enough I have him in bed saying yes over and over and over again, but my ability to shoot and scoot is frozen by a Denali snowstorm.

Jamie: I always thought of myself as the marrying type. Until I got left at the altar. Now I have a new motto: never commit and never fall in love. So when a cocky nature photographer decides I''m the key to his next masterpiece, it seems like the perfect arrangement: the hotshot''s only in town for a brief assignment and then he''ll be gone. No commitment, no strings, and no chance of getting my heart broken again.

There''s just one problem: I think I''m falling in love. Now I''m afraid that maybe I''m the marrying type after all. And he definitely is not.

While it can also be read on its own, Taming Teddy is the second in the new Made Marian series. Each book tells the story of one of the Marian brothers'' search for true love. The first in the series, Borrowing Blue, is available now.
