One Night With You Book Cover

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Francis Ray is a native Texan. A graduate of Texas Woman's University, she was twice nominated for the Distinguished Alumni Award.

INCOGNITO, her sixth title, was the first made-for-TV movie for BET. She has written forty-one titles to date. Awards include Romantic Times Career Achievement, EMMA, The Golden Pen, The Atlantic Choice, and Borders 2008 Romance Award for Bestselling Multicultural Romance. Her current title is ONE NIGHT WITH YOU, book # 3 of the Grayson Friends series.

Francis Ray shares with readers ways to keep the romantic sparks burning.

How can a busy person incorporate romance into their relationship? I firmly believe you keep the romance alive in a relationship by finding time to be with that special person, just the two of you to relax and forget everything except how much you love each other.

Where would you suggest couples go for a romantic getaway? It would be San Francisco. My husband once surprised me with a trip there. We had a fabulous time.

What song comes to mind when you think of romance? Tina Turner's BREAK EVERY RULE.

Why do you write romance novels? I write romance because I believe in the power of real love. Love carries risks as the characters in romance novels find out, but the reward - a love to last a lifetime- is worth it.

ABOUT ONE NIGHT WITH YOU

Standing on the front porch of his Montana ranch house, Duncan McBride watches a stunning woman emerge from a black Jeep. He doesn't have time for a woman. Moments later, he's shocked to hear her ask for him.

Raven La Blanc is a woman used to a challenge. She's there to secretly authenticate the cave drawings he'd found on his ranch.

As Raven stays at Duncan’s ranch their attraction becomes too intense to ignore. However, Duncan doesn't believe in happily-ever-after. Raven will settle for nothing less than a lifetime. Somehow, Raven has to show Duncan that one night with her will never be enough.
