Jan Hamilton Powell (aka Celeste Hamilton) grew up reading romance novels, and she's proud of her 23 titles published by Harlequin/Silhouette. She loves everyday heroes, men who love their families and chase their dreams. She writes about women who are strong, independent and loyal. If she could use one word to describe her romance novels, it would be "real." By contrast, she also writes paranormal romance with her friend Leigh Neely under the pseudonym Neely Powell.

LET THE HONEYMOON BEGIN!
Pretty Paige McMullen came home to Amarillo, Texas, just in time to get hitched to widower True Whitman, the rugged cowboy she'd loved ever since she was a young cowgirl. But little did her groom-to-be know she'd been waiting for the wedding night all these years....
True was shocked clear out of his boots when he discovered his sexy new bride was a (gulp!) virgin! And once Paige became the keeper of his home and hearth, mother of his rambunctious tots, True began to wonder if their convenient marriage was more than he'd bargained for. After all, a rough-edged rancher couldn't possibly be the loving husband Paige dreamed of.... Could he?
