He was the bad boy no one trusted
Bailey's burned out, and unsure why she's landed back to Ryker Falls, but has a feeling it's got something to do with closure. Bad boy Joe Trainer was once her soulmate, but she wasn't sure she had a soul anymore. Finding he'd made something of his life is a shock, as he'd been on a one-way trip to hell when she left. This new Joe is sexy and enticing, but she knows all too well there's a devil underneath the urbane exterior.
She was the good girl who never broke the rules
When Joe finds his childhood sweetheart, Bailey Jones, has returned to Ryker Falls, his life suddenly shifts from settled to off-center. Once they'd been closer than anyone ever guessed; now, they're chilly strangers. But Joe's not letting his stubborn, sexy-as-hell ex-bestfriend stay closed off. He lost her once through his own stupidity this time she's not getting away. Joe knows he doesn't deserve a second chance, but he's never played by the rules before so he's not starting now. Game on.

Wendy Vella is a lover of all things romantic, and with a voracious appetite for reading across all romance genre's, she eventually settled on the Regency era to begin her writing career. She penned her first novel at eighteen though she says it will never make an appearance further than the closet in which it currently resides.
After having her two children, she then joined Romance Writers of New Zealand and started honing her chosen craft by entering competitions with some success and attending conferences, until eventually, she was ready to publish her first novel.
With several of her Regency historical novels reaching bestseller status on Amazon, she has recently moved into contemporary romance. Her first series is set in Oregon in the fictional town of Lake Howling, and she has enjoyed the change of genre immensely, though is quick to add that she will still be writing historical, as the colorful and sometimes turbulent waters of Regency London are still her first love.
Wendy is a sucker for a happy ending, having secured her own. She has been married to her own dark, brooding hero for 30 years and shares her home with two wonderful children, two dogs and anyone else who happens to be visiting at the time. Born and raised in a rural area in the North Island of New Zealand, Wendy loves the beaches and lush green rolling hills of her homeland and is proud to call herself a very patriotic Kiwi!
