Author Tracy Solheim has written her share of best sellers and note-worthy books. Unfortunately most of them line the shelves of dusty government offices around the world never to see the light of day. She hopes to change that with her series of contemporary romantic fiction novels published by Berkley Books. “I guess you could say I’m a frustrated sports writer at heart, but I love writing—and reading—books centered around sports. I can thank my dad for that. He introduced me to Dick Francis novels when I was a teenager and I was hooked. I am also a big fan of the happily ever after endings of romance novels, so it was only natural that I combined the two elements in my fiction debut.” To find out more about Tracy Solheim, visit her at: Website: http://www.tracysolheim.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TracySolheimBooks Twitter: https://twitter.com/TracyKSolheim Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6519003.Tracy_Solheim Just when he was at the top of his g...
