Call Me Wild

“Competitive to a fault” sports reporter Jessica James, always just one of the guys, already has a lot of baggage when she is suddenly laid off from her beloved job. She leaves the Big Apple and heads to Boise for a friend’s rent-free pad and the opportunity to publish a romance novel, make fast money, and regain her equilibrium. Since she refuses to believe in romantic love, the romance-writing ambition seems hampered from the get-go. Then hot outdoorsman Fisher Kincaid offers to help her “research,” the sexual fireworks light up with a bang, and the chinks in their emotional armor begin to show. Will Fisher be the one man who can make it through the near-impenetrable defenses around Jessie’s bruised heart? The frothy, fun plot and intriguing secondary characters provide ample support for this opposites-attract romance. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. (Aug.)
