New in Town: A BWWM Contemporary Romance
Bettye Griffin, BWWM United

Nine months of unemployment force physical therapy assistant Miranda Rhett to relocate to Bismarck, North Dakota…a boomtown with jobs but few African-Americans.
To fill the time she signs up for dance lessons, but doesn’t have a partner. Enter tall, blond Jon Lindbergh, a recent transplant from Minnesota.
And shall he be her new romance?
The last person Miranda expected to encounter was someone with the same employer, who has a strict no-dating rule .
But Jon is handsome, witty, and not shy about wanting to get her into bed. Even the possibility of losing the job she relocated for if the job finds out doesn’t stop her from wanting him.
But Miranda desires more than a fling, and Jon's family history of four generations of failed marriages has made a non-believer out of him.
His primary interest is hooking up with someone for the bitterly cold North Dakota winter. But rules are made to be broken , and with an average high winter temperature in the single digits and frequently below zero, what’s a girl to do?
If she's Miranda, she tries like hell to be the one to get him to change his mind...
Can she break through the wall he’s built around his heart…and can she do it without their affair being discovered?
