Meet Ashley and Roman--complete opposites who can't hide their attraction--in Episode 1 of Ruthie Knox's eBook original serial, Roman Holiday. Ashley Bowman is having a bad week. Reeling from the death of her beloved grandmother, she returns to the Florida Keys only to learn that a heartless Miami developer has gotten hold of the crappy vacation rentals she calls home. Ashley has one day to clear out before Roman Díaz destroys the only place in the world that matters to her. Chaining herself to a palm tree in the bulldozers' path seems like a good way to stop him . . . until she realizes she should've brought food and water. And pants. Also, it would help if the evil developer weren't so ridiculously hot. The last thing Roman Díaz needs is some sun-kissed blond protester getting her picture in the newspaper and messing up his plans. He bought the property fair and square, and the resort he wants to build on the site is the key to realizing his highest ambitions. But when a hurricane blows through, Roman has to hustle Ashley to safety if he wants to protect his reputation--and that means giving in to her unreasonable demands. Roman needs to learn a little compassion, and Ashley's decided to teach it to him . . . even if she has to drag him all over the Eastern Seaboard to do it. Praise for Episode 1 of Roman Holiday "This is a very fun introduction to Roman Holiday. I didn't want it to end. I was instantly drawn to both characters, and now I wonder how each will change the other. [Ruthie] Knox does a great job pulling emotions out of me. Her stories are fun, angsty, spicy, and just plain hard to put down. So far, Roman Holiday is no exception. I am dying to see Roman's cool exterior crumble under Ashley's onslaught."--Manga Maniac Cafe "A new episode every week? I am so down with that!"--No Book Left Behind "Knox has a particular talent of making you love her characters right from the very beginning of the story."--Under the Covers Praise for Ruthie Knox "A great new voice in contemporary romance . . . hilarious, heartfelt, and hot."--New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristan Higgins "Knox writes incredible romance."--RT Book Reviews "I'll read anything by Ruthie Knox--her books are always sexy, funny, beautifully poignant, and honest."--Molly O'Keefe, bestselling author of Crazy Thing Called Love "One of the reasons I so like [Ruthie Knox's] work is because [her] heroines are women I personally can relate to."--Dear Author

Biography/History:
USA Today bestselling author Ruthie Knox writes contemporary romance that's sexy, witty, and angsty--sometimes all at once. After training to be a British historian, she became an academic editor instead. Then she got really deeply into knitting, as one does, followed by motherhood and romance novel writing. Her debut novel, Ride with Me, is probably the only existing cross-country bicycling love story. She followed it up with About Last Night, a London-set romance whose hero has the unlikely name of Neville, and then Room at the Inn, a Christmas novella--both of which were finalists for the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award. Her four-book series about the Clark family of Camelot, Ohio, has won accolades for its fresh, funny portrayal of small-town Midwestern life. Ruthie moonlights as a mother, Tweets incessantly, and bakes a mean focaccia. She'd love to hear from you, so visit her website and drop her a line.
