No Simple Sacrifice Read online

  Fletcher Ford was a huge contrast. He always and immediately voiced every single thought running through his head, telling you what he believed, whether good, bad or indifferent. He laughed a lot more than Drake, but it was deceiving. He had a distinct pit of sadness in him, just under the surface.

  About the Authors

  USA Today bestselling romance author Angel Payne has been reading and writing her entire life, though her love for romances began in junior high, when writing with friends on “swap stories” they’d trade between classes. Needless to say, those stories involved lots of angst, groping, drama and French kissing.

  She began getting a paycheck for her writing in her twenties, writing record reviews for a Beverly Hills-based dance music magazine. Various entertainment industry gigs and a number of years in the hospitality industry later, Angel returned to the thing she loves the most—creating character-based romantic fiction. Along the way, she also graduated with two degrees from Chapman University in Southern California, taking departmental honors for English, before writing five historical romances.

  Angel found a true home in writing contemporary-based romances that feature high heat and high concepts, focusing on memorable alpha men and the women who tame them. She has numerous book series to her credit, including the Secrets of Stone series (with Victoria Blue).

  Angel still lives in Southern California, where she is married to her soulmate and lives on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with their awesome daughter and Lady Claire, the dog with impeccable manners. When not writing, she enjoys reading, pop culture, alt rock, cute shoes, enjoying the outdoors, and being a gym rat.
