Kendall Montgomery's six-year-old son has barely spoken in the past year, locked in his world of silent grief. Then one day, he spots his dead father across a crowded street.
Max Jordan moved to Chicago to be closer to his own son and prove he can be a better father than his deadbeat dad. His striking resemblance to Kendall's husband and his track record with fatherhood make her determined to keep her distance…until Max helps her little boy come out of his shell. But can she trust him with their future? How can she be sure he won't take off just when they need him most?

Amy lives outside Chicago with her high school sweetheart-turned-husband, three fun-loving children, and their sweet but mischievous puppy dog.
Hello! I’m so excited to be here today to share my new novel, The Better Man with you. In the story, a young widow and mother is hired to remodel a restaurant managed by a man who happens to look exactly like her dead husband. It’s a messy romance but one that I hope wins your hearts.
People often ask what kind of research goes into writing a novel. I would have to say it varies depending on the type of story you’re writing. Historical romance writers should do a lot of research so they are sure to accurately represent the time period they have chosen to write about. My story is set in present day and inChicago
I thought I’d share with you three of the most romantic places to eat inChicago
#3: Spiaggia
This place has been the site of over 1,300 engagements! It’s an intimate place with only 32 tables and delicious homemade pastas. Their website boasts that the “Hollywood elite” eat there, which is probably true. This
place is not easy to get into.
#2: Vivo
Vivo has a special table located above the rest of the dining room in a converted elevator shaft. There are velvet curtains that can be closed for ultimate privacy. With its rustic wood floors and exposed brick walls & beams, Vivo has a real loft vibe. Forget aboutHollywood , this is where
all the rock-n-rollers come after their shows at the United Center
#1: The Signature Room
On Valentine’s Day alone, the staff arranges about 40 engagements. Located on the 95th floor of the John Hancock, the Signature Room offers breathtaking views of the city and a harpist for your musical entertainment. Their food and cocktails aren’t too shabby either.
In the story, the restaurant is called Sato’s. It is a Japanese restaurant with a sushi bar. It’s elegant without being too pretentious. There are banquettes and oversized upholstered chairs. The lighting is chic and modern. The heroine, Kendall, paints a traditional Japanese garden on one of the wall, helping to blend the old and the new.
What makes a restaurant romantic to you? Can the ambiance make or break a place? If you could open your own restaurant, what kind would it be?
