ABOUT ANN
After graduating from law school, where I met my husband – a classmate – I practiced civil litigation for over six years, specializing in family law.
I “retired” several years ago following the birth of my second child. Now I wrangle kids, write full time, do a poor job of keeping in touch with my wonderful sorors of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, and read whatever I can get my hands on.
After Stephen King’s terrific book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, gave me the courage to put fingers to keyboard, I wrote my first manuscript. A Delicate Situation is, sadly, unfit for public consumption. Fortunately, I’ve learned a little since then, and published my second completed novel, Trouble, in 2006.
I live in Ohio with my husband, kids, rescue cats, Sadie and Savannah, who graciously tolerate our presence as long as we feed them on time, and rescue hound, Sheldon, who keeps the yard free of squirrels and other vermin.
Synopsis
Passion can be deadly...
A woman driven to know the truth...
Criminal defense attorney Amara Clarke can't help but be hot and bothered by the handsome, enigmatic new cook at her local diner—and his seeming dislike of her. Until she finds herself in a dangerous situation—and the mysterious Jack Parker comes to her aid.
...The man who'll do anything to protect her.
Amara doesn't know that Jack is a DEA agent, evading death threats from a powerful drug lord. The last thing he wants is to endanger her by letting her get too close. But when fate puts her in his path, Jack's cover is blown wide open. Soon he and Amara are on the run—but they can't escape the smoldering chemistry between them. To keep Amara out of harm's way, Jack will have to take drastic measures—even if it means shattering her fragile heart...

Publishers Weekly
Tough men find their soft spots for smart, beautiful women in Christopher's (Redemption's Kiss) exciting romantic thriller. DEA agent Jack Parker, quietly masquerading as a fry cook, helps brilliant criminal defense lawyer Amara Clarke stop a carjacking. When footage of his heroics hits the TV news, it alerts Jack's longtime enemy, drug kingpin Kareem Gregory, to his location.
Forced to take Amara along for her safety as he attempts to stay underground until Gregory's next trial, Jack struggles to fend off their mutual attraction and Amara's investigative instincts, hoping she can someday go back to leading a normal life. Meanwhile, Kareem digs into his own difficult relationship issues and conflicted sexual tension with his good-girl wife, Kira. Rough romance interleaves smoothly with bloody, lethal confrontation en route to a thrilling conclusion. (Nov.)
Here's a great shot that looks like it was taken at one of Lori Foster's Reader Author Get Togethers. (L-R) Ann Christopher, Donna MacMeans, Marcia James, Dianne Castell, Patricia Sargeant and Lori Foster.

Hi Ann, how exciting to have one of Becke's neighbors here, do you have any dirt on her
Your books look very good and now there will be an even higher pile to read.
Welcome
Debbie - Ann and I aren't exactly neighbors - Cincinnati is a big town - but I do see her at local book signings occasionally! I think I have some pictures - I'll have to check.

Good morning! Thanks for having me, Becke! The gnomes didn't care for Safari, so I've now switched to Firefox. Hope this works...
So glad to be here.
Ann - I'm glad you got in okay! I don't know what the deal is with the B&N gnomes and Safari - sometimes they really make it difficult to sign in. I use Google Chrome, which is usually okay, but Mozilla Firefox does seem to be the safest bet for some reason. Maybe that Firefox gobbles up the nasty gnomes and gremlins!
