Rival Hearts: Quilts of Love Series, (Paperback)

In <i>Rival Hearts</i>, from the Quilts of Love Series, two writers, one promotion, and a month of role swaps turn everything upside down. Molly Henderson and Ben Weaver have spent years as writers for rival magazines under the same publishing group, so when both come up for the same promotion, they find themselves in an unexpected competition to win the spot. Molly, editor of Quilter's Heart, and Ben, editor of Outdoor Adventures, must swap roles and work the other's beat for a month, then each submit an article at the end of the assignment. Can a girly-girl like Molly survive the outdoor adventures Ben has planned? Can Ben navigate the social dynamics of quilting events without ruining a valuable quilt in one short month? And in this he-said, she-said standoff, will the two give in to their growing attraction and fall in love, no matter who comes out on top? Written by Tara Randel, an established romance author, <i>Rival Hearts</i> is a contemporary romance that brings humor and sass to the Quilts of Love series of stand-alone novels.

Publishers Weekly,In Randel's (The Lady in the Attic) first contribution to the Quilts of Love series, Molly Henderson is editor of the magazine, Quilter's Heart. Ben Weaver helms Outdoor Adventures. Both publications are part of the Tampa-based Master's Publishing empire. Company owner Blake Masterson is poised to launch a new publication, American Legend, and the eccentric publisher has decided to choose as editor-in-chief either long-time employee Molly or newbie Ben using a challenge. Ben will join Molly's quilting group, and Molly will kayak. Each journey will be chronicled in their respective magazines. As the competition heats up and their staffs pit the boys against the girls, Molly and Ben earn each other's respect and discover they are not as different as they might have originally thought. Can they ignore their growing attraction and keep focused on the prize? Attentive readers will likely recognize the foreshadowing and guess the conclusion before reaching the halfway mark. Still, Randel's rich characterizations of Ben and Molly and the complexity of their relationship will keep most readers' attention long after it becomes obvious who will be the new editor-in-chief.
